Effects of Prolactin Inhibition on Lipid Metabolism in Goats.

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
Prolactin (PRL) has recently been found to play a role in lipid metabolism in addition to its traditional roles in lactation and reproduction. However, the effects of PRL on lipid metabolism in liver and adipose tissues are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to study the role of PRL on lipid metabolism in goats. Twenty healthy eleven-month-old Yanshan cashmere goats with similar body weights (BWs) were selected and randomly divided into a control (CON) group and a bromocriptine (BCR, a PRL inhibitor, 0.06 mg/kg, BW) group. The experiment lasted for 30 days. Blood was collected on the day before BCR treatment (day 0) and on the 15th and 30th days after BCR treatment (days 15 and 30). On day 30 of treatment, all goats were slaughtered to collect their liver, subcutaneous adipose, and perirenal adipose tissues. A portion of all collected tissues was stored in 4% paraformaldehyde for histological observation, and another portion was immediately stored in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction. The PRL inhibition had inconclusive effects found on BW and average daily feed intake (ADFI) in goats (
