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

The corpus luteum (CL) controls the success of pregnancy. The current study investigated the effects of some environmental and management factors on the development of the CL and the subsequent impact on conception rates of beef and dairy cows in South Africa. Cows (Jersey, Holstein, Nguni, Bonsmara, Tuli, Ankole, Charolais and Angus crosses) receiving an embryo were synchronized based on the breed type and status. Standing estrus was observed from day 9 to day 12 after synchronization. Embryo transfer occurred on day 18. CLs were graded based on size and consistency of each CL by an experienced veterinarian. Production type (beef versus dairy types) was marginally associated with conception after the first synchronization cycle (
