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 relationship between the body condition score (BCS), pre-ovulatory follicle (POF) and corpus luteum (CL) characteristics, progesterone (P4) concentrations, and reproductive success in Nellore cows subjected to timed artificial insemination (TAI). Two strategies were tested to enhance P4 concentrations and conception rates in cows with a low BCS. After TAI (Day 0), 863 cows were assigned to three groups: P4LA (n = 281; 150 mg long-acting progesterone injection on Day 7), GnRH (n = 285, 10 µg buserelin acetate on Day 7), and control (n = 297; no supplementation). Ultrasound assessments were performed on Day 0 and Day 7, and the cows were classified as high (BCS ≥ 3; n = 160) or low (BCS < 3; n = 101). No significant differences were observed in the POF or CL characteristics between the BCS groups. However, ovulation rates (P = 0.04) and P4 concentrations on Day 7 (P = 0.02) were higher in cows with high BCS. On Day 16, P4 concentrations were not different between high-BCS cows and those treated with GnRH or P4LA (P = 0.16). Among the low-BCS cows, the P4LA group had higher P4 concentrations than the control group (P = 0.04). In the control group, cows with low BCS had lower P4 concentrations than those with high BCS (P = 0.02). The conception rates of the low-BCS cows were lower in the control group than in the treatment group (P = 0.01). In conclusion, administering GnRH or P4LA on D7 post-TAI enhanced P4 concentrations and improved conception rates in Nellore cows with a low BCS.
