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

This study explored the effect of supplementing the diet with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on liver gene expression and its contribution to the recovery of cows during the transition phase. A total of 30 multiparous non-lactating Holstein dairy cows (35 d before expected calving) were randomly fed a diet with either 1% dry matter (DM) of hydrogenated fatty acid (FA) (C16:00 enriched; control group [CON]) or 3.5% DM of extruding flaxseed (n-3 enriched; HN3 group). The cows underwent a 7-d adaptation period, followed by a 28-d prepartum period and a 28-d postpartum period. In the beginning of the experiment, parity, body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS) and milk yield were 2.6 ± 1.2, 757.5 ± 65.8 kg, 3.3 ± 0.2 and 10,286.5 ± 1464.8 kg/previous lactation (mean ± SD), respectively. The relative abundances of Bacteroidota (
