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 native Carora dairy breed was created in Venezuela with the objective of improving cattle adaptation to tropical conditions and increasing the production performance. The aim of this research was to study the reproductive performance, inbreeding evolution, and genetic diversity of the indigenous Carora breed using official pedigree information from the Carora Cattle Association of Venezuela. The total population included 72,411 females and 8,067 males. Six databases were considered: historical (all individuals born between 1985 and 2024 = 80,473), four populations born from 1985 to 2024 taken at 10-year intervals (1985-1994; 1995-2004; 2005-2014; 2015-2024) that included 8,442, 15,694, 34,987, and 21,350 individuals, and reference population (individuals with known sire and dam within of the population in the last period). Population structure variables were pedigree completeness index (PCI); number of equivalent (GEq), complete (GCom); and maximum (GMax) generations; and generation interval (GI). GD variables were inbreeding (F), inbreeding increment (ΔF), average relatedness (AR), co-ancestry (C), non-random mating (
