Article in Veterinary sciences, 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
Inhibin (INH) plays a key role in the regulation of the reproductive performance of geese. It inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from the anterior pituitary gland to regulate spermatogenesis. Immunization against INH in male geese leads to the production of antibodies to neutralize the INH activity that enhances testicular function and gonadotropin production. The objectives of the present research were to elaborate on the effects of inhibin (INH) immunization on testicular histology, plasma LH, pituitary PRL mRNA, and hypothalamic VIP mRNA expressions in Yangzhou ganders. A total of 60 birds were selected and divided into control (CON) and INH-immunized (INH-immunized) groups, having 30 in each group. In this experiment, the ganders were immunized with INH three times, and birds in the CON group were inoculated with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The analyzed data revealed that immunization against inhibin had no significant effects on improving the plasma concentration of LH hormone; however, significant effects were observed on the germ cell line, hypothalamic VIP mRNA, and pituitary PRL mRNA expressions. It is concluded that INH (INH) immunization is an effective tool to improve reproductive efficiency in Yangzhou ganders; however, INH immunization may harm pituitary PRL mRNA and hypothalamic mRNA expressions and LH plasma concentration. Seasonality played a vital impact on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.
