Application of growth models to Boer x Mashona and Kalahari x Mashona goats under extensive semi-arid conditions.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 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
The study aimed to estimate parameters from four different nonlinear growth models (Brady, Gompertz, Logistic, von Bertalanffy) and assess how growth differs by sex. A total of 40 goats (20 males and 20 females) for each cross; Boer x Mashona (BM) and Kalahari x Mashona (KM) were monitored from birth to one year of age. The goats were managed under extensive production with little or no supplements; singleton goat kids were used in this study. The model parameters of each growth model were compared for differences between the two sexes. The statistical effectiveness of fit was determined for each model using AIC, AICC, BIC, RMSE, and R
