From milk to maturity: The potential for lactocrine programming of heifer reproduction.
Article in JDS communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Standard dairy calf management sees that calves are fed a consistent liquid diet until weaning at ∼60 d of age, which is generally provided as whole milk from the bulk tank (a composite of all lactating cows) or a commercial milk replacer product. Although these diets aim to satisfy the nutritional needs of the calf, their composition is not similar to the transient profile of hormones and nonnutritive bioactive factors in the milk the dam produces at this stage. Inclusion or exclusion of hormones in milk during this time may have substantial effects on reproductive programming via lactocrine signaling. This review proposes 4 potential lactocrine factors (IGF-1, insulin, estradiol, and progesterone) relevant to current dairy calf feeding strategies and highlights known interactions within female reproductive development, wide knowledge gaps, and opportunities for further investigation.
