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

Ours is the first proof-of-concept study to attempt to define stable isotopic ratio (δ) thresholds to ascertain the dietary proportion of grassland-based feeds (GBF) in commercial tank milk. Additionally, the isotopic profile of commercial tank milk produced in Switzerland was characterized. We collected 217 tank milk samples, from 21 dairy farms, over one calendar year to reflect and incorporate seasonal variations in feeding strategies. Thus, a wide range of feeding strategies based on contrasting proportions of total GBF (28-99%) and grazed herbage (0-96%) were represented. Based on mixed-model multiple regression, there was a significant association of δ
