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
The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin). This study aimed to characterise the genetic ancestry of this composite breed at the genomic level. Principal component analysis revealed the composite in intermediate space between indicine and taurine but closer to the Taurine cluster, which is consistent with its multi-breed origin. The ADMIXTURE analysis indicated the Montana Tropical to be composed of several progenitor breeds without an indication of a dominant breed. Local ancestry analysis showed the Montana animals to have an average of 24% (standard deviation of ±5.41) Zebu ancestry. The total taurine ancestry was 62%, consisting of 19.6% (±6.96) from tropical adapted taurine, 20.1% (±5.99) from British taurine, 21.92% (±7.79) from continental taurine and 14% (±5.26) of the genome was undetermined. Based on the pedigree, these animals would have 20.8% ± 8.5% Zebu, 50.5% ± 14.4% tropical adapted taurine, 21.1% ± 13.5% British taurine and 7.6% ± 5.1% of continental European taurine in their composition. The genomic regions in the composite originating from each biological type highlight the trait complementarity each genetic group contributes. For example, the genomic region of high tropical adapted taurine ancestry was shown to harbour the slick hair locus, and the regions of high indicine ancestry are associated with high length of productive life. This study unravels the complex genetic ancestry of the Montana Tropical composite, highlighting the effective blend of ancestral gene pools that enhance key production and adaptation traits.
