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
Many of the lambs and goat kids born annually on dairy sheep and goat farms are not needed for herd replacement and are slaughtered for meat. The goal of this study was to describe rearing and fattening systems for lambs and goat kids from dairy production in Switzerland and to assess their impact on gamma globulin serum levels, health, average daily weight gain (ADG) and mortality. Data from 543 lambs and 247 goat kids from 22 dairy sheep and 17 dairy goat farms in Switzerland was collected. All animals were examined twice (goat kids) or thrice (lambs) in visits V1, V2 and V3 and followed from birth until slaughter. The main rearing systems identified were mother-bound (MB), temporarily mother-bound (TMB) and artificial (ART) rearing. Gamma globulin serum were on average lower in lambs (estimated mean [lower/upper confidence interval]: 1.0 [0.77/1.14] g/dl) than in goat kids (1.3 [1.14/1.56] g/dl;
