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

Water buffaloes often experience reduced fertility during the summer due to factors like temperature, photoperiod, and nutrition. This seasonal decline in reproduction affects calf and milk production, impacting farm economics. This research focuses on creating a breeding program tailored to the summer conditions in the Philippines to improve artificial insemination (AI) conception rates and boost production. During the summer months (March-June), water buffaloes may experience decreased luteal function or persistent corpus luteum, lowering fertility. To address this, a timed AI (TAI) protocol was developed, utilizing CIDR + GnRH on Day 0, followed by CIDR removal + PGF2a on Days 7-8, and hCG injection with AI on Day 10. The summer protocol included a double PGF2a injection on Days 7 and 8, compared to the control protocol with a single PGF2a injection on Day 7. Results from the PCC Genepool farm showed a 52.63 % conception rate in 2023 with the summer protocol (10/19), compared to 27.27 % with the control (3/11). In 2024, the summer protocol alone led to a 57.14 % conception rate (20/35). Additionally, milk production per cow per day ranged from 5.16 to 5.45 liters in 2024, compared to 2.62 to 3.0 liters in 2023. The summer protocol's effectiveness in increasing AI conception rates contributed to higher milk production, supporting sustainable livestock farming year-round.
