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

Animal science is an applied discipline and post-secondary curriculum must prepare students for matriculation into a dynamic and complex industry. As the backgrounds of students pursuing animal science degrees are shifting, there may be a disconnect between how they perceive food animal production versus industry realities and traditional lecture courses may fail to adequately address these gaps. Experiential learning, which is a high-impact pedagogical approach, immerses students in real world settings, allowing them to view and experience practical applications of technical and complex concepts. Within the context of beef production, such opportunities may be valuable to illustrate the multifaceted interactions of sustainability, welfare, technology, and economic factors underlying beef production. The objective of this study was to assess changes in perceived understanding and perceptions of beef cattle production resulting from experiential learning during a beef industry tour.
