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

Beef cattle production is largely dependent on rangelands for cattle to convert unusable plant-based fibers into an animal-based protein source for human consumption. Solutions are needed to meet both the growing demand for animal-based proteins and the desire of managers to produce energy-efficient cattle. Animal energetics has largely focused on beef cattle within confined systems such as feedlots. However, beef cattle grazing in extensive rangelands likely have a higher energetic requirement due to the need to forage across heterogeneous landscapes. In this study, we created a precision system model to account for net energy for activity of beef cattle on extensive rangeland systems by integrating in-pasture weighing technology, Global Positioning System (GPS) data, and animal nutrition models. The results from the mixed model analysis of variance (ANOVA) for net energy for maintenance activity (Nemr_act) indicated a significant main effect of treatment (
