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 evaluated the biological and economic impact of twin calvings in a commercial dairy herd located in Harghita County, Romania. Data from 2019 to 2022 were analyzed retrospectively using production, reproductive, and veterinary records. The incidence of twin pregnancies averaged 11.0% across the study period. Mixed-sex pairs were most frequent (55.3%), followed by female-female (28.2%) and male-male (16.5%) combinations. Twin calvings were associated with significant reductions in subsequent milk yield (-742 kg per lactation;
