Pregnancy Rates in Horro and Holstein-Horro Cross-Breed Cattle Breeds Following AI With Sexed Semen Under the Smallholder Farming System in Central Ethiopia.

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
This study aimed to evaluate the pregnancy rate achieved with sexed semen (SS) in Horro and Holstein-Horro cross-breed cattle under a smallholder farming system in Central Ethiopia. 120 cows and heifers (60 Horro and 60 Holstein-Horro cross-breed) were enrolled in the study. Selection criteria included parity, body condition score (BCS), and pregnancy status of the animals. To synchronize estrus, all selected animals received a single injection of prostaglandin (PGF2α). Estrus signs were monitored to assess heat response and the time to estrus induction in the treated animals. The responded animals were then randomly inseminated with either SS or conventional semen (CS). The conception rate was calculated based on the number of animals that exhibited estrus, were inseminated, and subsequently conceived. Data analysis was conducted using SAS (Version 9.4). Estrus response and conception rate data were analyzed using logistic regression while the interval to estrus was analyzed using a general linear model. Out of the 120 synchronized animals, 44 Horro and 52 Holstein-Horro cross-breed cows and heifers responded to PGF2α, resulting in an estrus response rate of 80%. Body condition and parity significantly influenced estrus response (
