1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The current study aimed to construct the growth curve and find the best-fitting non-linear model for the Nili-Ravi buffalo calves. The pedigree and monthly body weight data for 6644 calves born between 2010 and 2020 (inclusive) in six herds, maintained in different geographical regions of Punjab were collected. The study was performed under a longitudinal design and various non-linear models were used to associate the age with weight by using the easyreg package in R studio. Finally, the genetic parameters of growth curve were estimated through the bi-variate sire model in ASReml (v4.2). The model with the highest value of coefficient of determination and the lowest values of Akaike's information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and root-mean-square error was considered as the best fit for defining the growth curve. The Brody model was found as the best fitted model with the values of 0.6648, 627871.80, 627908.10, and 30.793 for the R
