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
Inflammatory processes within the body have been hypothesised to be causative agents of various health complications, including reproductive issues. This study investigates the effects of mastitis on ovarian morphometry and fertility outcomes while also comparing the effectiveness of different synchronisation protocols in affected cows. Healthy multiparous Holstein dairy cows, in their second to fifth lactations and with an average milk yield of approximately 12,000 kg in the preceding lactation, were selected for this study. The average milk yield per lactation was approximately 12,000 kg, with an average daily milk yield of 30 kg. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of mastitis on the reproductive cycle, ovarian morphometry, and function in dairy cows, as well as its effect on synchronisation efficiency. This study focused on both clinically healthy cows and those diagnosed with clinical mastitis postpartum. Three different synchronisation protocols-OvSynch, G7G, and Presynch-were evaluated at 60 days in milk (DIM). A total of 110 cows were included in this study, with 53 being clinically healthy and 57 affected by mastitis. The results indicated that inflammation affects ovarian morphometric parameters such as the area and the number of functional structures. In addition, the G7G protocol was observed to result in higher conception rates in cows suffering from mastitis following the second insemination. This study demonstrated that cows that developed mastitis within the first 30 DIM exhibited higher conception rates after the first insemination compared to those in cows that developed mastitis later in lactation.
