Investigation of factors affecting annual milk yield of different goat breeds using panel data analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aims to evaluate the effects of basic biological factors such as age and lactation length on milk yield by examining the annual milk yield data of five different goat breeds (Damaskus, Pure Damaskus, Toros, Çukurova, and German Fawn) raised in Turkey between 1991 and 1997. The study used a panel data analysis method that takes into account both horizontal (between races) and vertical (within time) variability. It includes annual milk yield (liters), lactation period (days), and age (years) variables of randomly selected individuals from each race. Fixed effects and random effects models were compared in the statistical analysis, and the fixed effects model was preferred according to the Hausman test results. The findings revealed that both age and lactation period had positive and statistically significant effects on milk yield. In addition, significant differences were found among the breeds in terms of milk yield; it was observed that the Çukurova breed had higher performance, while the Toros breed had lower milk yield. In conclusion, this study shows that breed selection and production management play a critical role in productivity in goat breeding and reveals that panel data analysis can be used as an effective method in animal production research.
