Evaluation of determinants affecting technical efficiency of dairy farms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 paper highlights the determinants that influence the technical efficiency of dairy farms in the Chhattisgarh plains of India. For the present investigation, 44dairy farms were randomly selected and administered with pre-developed questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function via FRONTIER 4.1 to identify various determinants and management parameters that affect the technical efficiency of dairy farms. A longer calving conception interval (β = - 0.03), regular faecal examinations (β= - 0.08), and the presence of a loose housing system (β= - 0.06) had significantly negative influences (P < 0.10) on technical efficiency. It was concluded that measures to improve peak milk yield (β = 0.58), lactation persistency (β = 0.82), strategic culling of animals (β = 0.03), regular deworming (β = 0.10), high labor productivity (β = 0.15), and improved ratios of pregnant to non-pregnant animals (β = 0.07), forage to concentrate (β = 0.07), and milch to dry animals (β = 0.08) along with the presence of irrigation facilities (β = 0.07), proper dairy waste disposal (β = 0.05) and utilization (β = 0.04), and environmentally controlled dairy housing (β = 0.36), would enhance technical efficiency. The study recommends better feeding, housing, and waste management practices to improve the efficiency of milk production in dairy farms across the Chhattisgarh plains and similar agro-climatic zones of India.
