Sexual Dimorphism of Foetal Sheep Skulls During the Second and Third Periods of Pregnancy.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The skull is a very important structure, and it is the centre of many vital functions. There have been many studies on the skulls of mammals, but not many studies on the prenatal period. The aim of this study is to examine developmental sheep foetal skulls from the last two trimesters of pregnancy. A total of 40 sheep foetuses, 20 in the 2nd trimester (10 females and 10 males) and 20 in the 3rd trimester (10 females and 10 males), were examined. On the basis of CT scans of foetal skulls, morphometric measurements were performed by creating a three-dimensional (3D) model. Total skull length was statistically significant between males and females in the third trimester (p < 0.01). In the second trimester, the tooth length parameter was statistically significant between males and females (p < 0.01). In the second trimester, M3 was found to be statistically significant in the sheep foetus mandible (p < 0.01). It was determined that there was developmental sexual dimorphism between males and females.
