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 objective of the study was two-fold and is as follows: (i) to investigate genotype-by-environment (G × E) interactions for milk yield and composition in purebred Lacaune sheep reared intensively in Greece and semi-extensively in France, and (ii) to estimate the potential genetic gain of selection based on genetic evaluations jointly calculated in both countries compared to each country separately. A total of 1658 Lacaune ewes from 4 intensive farms in Northern Greece and 4859 Lacaune ewes from 186 semi-extensive farms in Southern France were used. Ewes in the two countries were daughters or granddaughters of the same rams (6 common sires and 11 common grandsires). Individual ewe milk yield was recorded monthly, and milk samples were collected to assess their chemical composition. The total milk yield and milk component content were calculated. Results showed a strong genetic correlation for milk yield (0.86 ± 0.13,
