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

The purpose of this study was to investigate ovarian dynamics and fertility during a labor-saving timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol using a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (PRID) with an estradiol benzoate (EB) capsule. Forty-eight lactating dairy cows with ovarian echogenic structures considered to be corpus luteum (CL) received PRID for 12 days (d0-12), EB injection on d13, and TAI on d14. Ovulation was monitored on d14-16, and 13 cows without confirmed ovulation by d15 received a second AI on d15. Pregnancy was confirmed in 21 cows, including 18 by TAI only and 3 after re-insemination (43.8%). Among 45 cows (excluding 3 that conceived after re-insemination), pregnancy rates (P/TAI) were 60% (12/20) for cows whose CL disappeared by d5 (early luteolysis), 38.5% (5/13) for those whose CL disappeared on d6-14 (late luteolysis), and 8.3% (1/12) for those whose CL remained detectable on d14 (incomplete luteolysis). Cows with incomplete luteolysis had lower fertility than those with early luteolysis (odds ratio, 0.06; 95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.41; P=0.002). P/TAI did not differ significantly between cows with follicular turnover (emergence of new follicular wave) on d2-5 (42.3%, 11/26) and those without (36.8%, 7/19). Ovulation was synchronized in 91.7% (44/48) within 3 days after EB injection. Four anovular cows had a large CL (≥20 mm) on d14. Thus, the 12-day PRID plus single EB protocol was practical. However, ovulation synchronization failed in 4 cows with incomplete luteolysis.
