Management practices of five U.S. sheep breeds: insights from a producer survey.
Article in Translational animal science, 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
Management practices can substantially influence animal performance, health, and potentially the robustness of genetic evaluation programs. Yet, despite their importance, these practices remain poorly documented in U.S. sheep breeds. This study provides a snapshot of current management strategies among flocks enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP). The NSIP represents an important segment of the U.S. sheep industry engaged in data-orientated genetic improvement. We designed a survey of 53 questions considering seven domains, including general flock management, gastrointestinal nematode control, lambing, feeding, udder health, culling, and climate mitigation strategies. We distributed the online survey to 242 NSIP producers and observed a 40% completion rate. Respondents represented five major breeds: Katahdin (
