What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sex chromosomal abnormalities are a well-established cause of reproductive failure in domestic horses. Because of its difficult diagnosis, the Pura Raza Español breeding program established a routine screening for chromosomal abnormalities in all the horses prior to enrolling in the studbook. This genomic procedure combines an initial assessment based on the results from Short Tandem Repeat (STR) parentage testing followed by a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) based copy number aberration (CNA) confirmative analysis in positive cases. Using this methodology, we identified five new individuals carrying a 65,XXY chromosomal number aberration (CNA) among 27,330 foals enrolled over the past two reproductive seasons. The animals were initially flagged as CNA candidates due to abnormal results in STR testing. Subsequent analysis genotyping using an STR sex-linked dedicated panel and a medium-density SNP array in ECAX and ECAY confirmed the diagnosis as 65,XXY carriers. Four cases (upon sample availability) underwent further analysis using in situ fluorescent hybridization with ECAX and ECAY probes, showing identical results. Phenotypic analysis revealed abnormal gonad development in one of the cases, showing that the remaining four had a normal reproductive morphology. To our knowledge, this represents the largest number of horses exhibiting the equine form of Klinefelter syndrome (65,XXY) reported to date. Our study highlights the importance of genomic screening in the accurate detection of chromosomal abnormalities in horses.
