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

backgroundBaboons are valuable models for human health research, yet existing hematology, serum chemistry, and growth reference data are limited by small sample sizes, narrow age ranges, and inconsistent reporting.

methodsThis study addresses these gaps by analyzing data from 848 captive olive baboons to establish comprehensive reference intervals and growth curves. We examined variations in hematology and serum chemistry across age, sex, rearing history (mother- vs. nursery-reared), and viral status (specific pathogen free vs. conventional).

resultsSignificant differences were found in 58.8% (10/17) of hematology and 37% (10/27) of chemistry parameters between SPF and conventional baboons, as well as across age, sex, and rearing categories. Growth curves aligned with previous studies but showed higher weight ranges.

conclusionsWhile many differences were statistically significant, not all may be clinically relevant. These findings provide a robust resource for veterinary care and biomedical research involving baboons.
