Geographic and breed-specific traceability of cashmere
Article in RSC advances, 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
The study investigates a consistent technique for tracing the cashmere breeds and their geographical origins using mineral element fingerprinting from Inner Mongolia, China. 237 cashmere samples were collected from three different regions (Ordos, Chifeng and Alxa League) and four breeds (Albas, Mingan, Hanshan, Alxa white cashmere goats). Concentrations of 21 mineral elements were quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and assessed using multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Among them, six elements (Mg, Mn, As, Sr, Ce and U; with Ce in regions and Sr in breeds, while the other five are common) discriminated significant regional and breed-specific differences (
