Effect of Flushing Diets With Different Omega-6 to Omega-3 Fatty Acids Ratios on Reproductive Performance and Blood Biochemical Attributes in Shall Ewes.

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.
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 aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of flushing diet supplemented with omega-6 and omega-3 sources on reproductive performance and blood biochemical parameters in ewes. Twenty-five Shall ewes (30 ± 6 months) allocated to a completely randomized design with three experimental groups: (1) control diet with no fat supplementation (CON, n = 9), (2) control diet supplemented with calcium salt of soybean oil (CSSO, n = 8) and (3) diet supplemented with calcium salt of flaxseed oil (CSFO, n = 8). The ratio of omega-6/omega-3 in CON, CSSO and CSFO groups was 3.2, 5.3 and 1.5, respectively. The oestrous cycle of all ewes was synchronized with a progesterone-impregnated sponge for a period of 13 days. From 4 days before to one day after removing sponges, the growth and activity of ovarian follicles were checked using transrectal ultrasound technique. Results showed supplementation diet with CSFO increased the number of large follicles near the time of sponge removal (p < 0.05). The CSFO group showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in progesterone concentration on Day 12 post-oestrus and improved oxidative status with decreasing (p < 0.05) in MDA and increasing (p = 0.06) TAC. The CSSO supplementation increased (p < 0.05) blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels. However, numerically higher prolificacy and fecundity were observed in the CSFO group. In conclusion, CSFO supplementation enhanced follicular growth and luteal function without affecting oestrus timing and reproductive outcome in Shall ewes.
