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

In recent years, donkey milk has gained growing interest for its nutritional and therapeutic properties, stimulating both research and commercial interest. Monitoring udder health is essential to reduce production losses and ensure animal welfare. Despite its importance, information about the ultrasonographic anatomy of teat structures in lactating jennies is limited, and normal reference values are not well established. This study aimed to describe the ultrasonographic appearance of the teat and provide reference measurements in healthy lactating standard dairy jennies. Twenty-eight subjects were examined using a 13 MHz linear transducer, and longitudinal and transverse scans were performed to assess teat canal length, teat canal diameter, and cranial and caudal teat wall thickness. All measurements were repeatable and showed high bilateral symmetry. Teat canal diameter was positively correlated with the month of lactation (
