Association of Temperament with Growth Performance in Nili Ravi Buffalo Heifers.

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 investigated the association between temperament and retrospective growth rates in 84 Nili Ravi buffalo heifers aged 18 to 24 months. Temperament was assessed using chute score and exit velocity, measured twice at a seven-day interval, and classified as calm (≤3) or nervous (>3). Retrospective average daily weight gain data were retrieved from farm records, and blood samples were collected to measure cortisol levels. ANOVA was used to analyze data, considering temperament, age group, season, and year of birth as fixed effects, with birth weight as a covariate. Results showed that 48 heifers were calm and 36 were nervous. Calm heifers exhibited significantly higher average daily gains than nervous heifers during the post-weaning period, with an increase of 240 g/day from 4 to 6 months and 190 g/day from 6 to 12 months (
