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

This retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate the effects of age at first mating (AFM) and season of dam birth (SB) on age at first calving (AFC), birth weight of calves (BW), and calving interval (CI) in Angoni cattle in Mozambique. A total of 1418 records collected over a 25-year period (1995-2020) at the Angonia Research Station were analyzed using R software (version 4.3.2). The effects of AFM and SB on reproductive and productive traits were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test and further analyzed with Dunn's test to compare means between groups in case of showing significance. The least squares method was applied to assess the relationship among AFM, BW, and AFC through simple linear regression analysis. AFM significantly influenced BW (17.5-18.3 kg;
