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

Minimizing the risk of disease transmission, disseminating superior genetics, and reducing transportation costs are recognized advantages of embryo biotechnologies. These advantages make the development of a minimally invasive and repeatable procedure in pigs enticing, but simultaneously magnify the anatomical constraints. For decades, the swine industry has struggled to establish a universal procedure to collect pre-implantation embryos from pigs due to their long and convoluted uterine horns (UHs). Thus, the objectives were to evaluate the benefits of employing a transitional surgical model by shortening UH tissue using a 40 cm ipsilateral resection and assess the compensatory ovulatory response following an ovariectomy. The surgery was deemed successful as the UH was resected and the contralateral UH was fully ligated. The dam- and sire-line gilts exhibited ovarian hypertrophy between surgery and slaughter on the remaining ovary, illustrated by an increase in the number of corpora lutea (13.4 and 3.0 vs. 27.2 and 12;
