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
Cow urine is widely utilized for medicinal and agricultural purposes in rural areas of India, with urine from indigenous cow breeds (Bos indicus) believed to offer unique benefits compared to that of exotic (Bos taurus) breeds. This research aimed to profile the metabolites present in the urine of indigenous breeds of cows using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and to explore the potential applications of the identified compounds by referencing the established literature. The various cow breeds included in the study were Gir, Sahiwal, Gangatiri, Hariana, Kankrej, Rathi, Gaolao, and Jersey. Cows employed in the study to collect the samples from various locations differed in their body weight, age, and stage of lactation. GC-MS analysis revealed a range of compounds, including ethanone, cresol, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, phenol, eicosane, pentanol, isobutyl ester, ethyl ester, binapacryl, trifluoroacetate, xylene, amylene hydrate, dibutyl ester, and formamide. Notably, several compounds were consistently observed across multiple indigenous breeds. For instance, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and xylene were found in nearly all indigenous breeds, while ethanone was detected in Gir, Sahiwal, Gangatiri, Kankrej, Hariana, Gaolao as well as Jersey cows. Similarly, eicosane and pentanol were present in Gangatiri and Hariana breeds. These overlapping chemical signatures highlight potential metabolic similarities among the studied cow breeds. The identified compounds are known for their diverse industrial and pharmaceutical applications, including use in disinfectants, flavorings, cosmetics, and agrochemicals as well as metabolic engineering. Thus, this study-for the first time-comprehensively delineated the comparative metabolite profile of cow urine among different breeds of cows. The spectrum of urinary metabolites identified could offer opportunities to foster bio-based innovations having multifarious applications, including new product developments, across diversified fields.
