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

Polyunsaturated fatty acids omega 3 (PUFA-ω3) have been shown to modulate reproductive events such as ovarian follicular and luteal development, steroid and prostaglandin synthesis, and oocyte/embryo quality in different species. These effects could be exploited to support pregnancy and avoid early embryo losses that could occur in dairy sheep breeding. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dietary supplementation of microencapsulated/by-passed linseed oil (LO) on ovarian function, embryo implantation rates, and lipid profiles of Sarda ewes during their early pregnancy. Our results demonstrated that the intake of microencapsulated LO at a level of 4.0% of fresh matter increased the plasmatic concentrations of PUFASω3 (
