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

Genetic diseases in goats are less well characterized than in other livestock species. This study reports a previously unrecognized congenital neurological disorder in Bunte Deutsche Edelziege goats and identifies its likely genetic cause. Between 2019 and 2023, a dairy goat farm observed 21 kids with congenital vestibular disease. The affected kids displayed pronounced, sometimes exuberant, wide bilateral excursions of the head and neck, delayed standing, wide-based stance, and poor postural control, while remaining alert and physically strong. Motor coordination improved with age. One retained female displayed mild persistent deficits and suspected hearing impairment in adulthood. Postmortem examinations were unremarkable, and infectious or nutritional causes were excluded. The repeated occurrence and pedigree structure suggested an inherited autosomal recessive disorder. Whole-genome sequencing of two affected kids, compared with large control cohorts, revealed a single rare nonsense variant in exon 5 of the
