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

To maximize reproductive performance in farm animals, they must be protected from all kinds of stress, including heat stress (HS). Stress affects reproductive efficiency and the normal functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The current study aimed to elucidate the effects of heat stress on reproductive efficiency in donkeys, including testicular histoarchitecture, stages of spermatogenesis, and variations in the plasma concentrations of testosterone, inhibin A, inhibin B, and luteinizing hormone (LH). A total of 30 Dezhou donkeys (Sanfen breed) were equally divided into two groups: Group A (
