Effect of Somatic Cell Count on Milk Production, Composition, Colour, Coagulation Properties and Cheese-Making Ability Traits in Manchega Dairy Sheep.

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
Somatic cell count (SCC) in milk is widely used as an indicator of intramammary infections in dairy sheep and is routinely monitored by the dairy industry as a marker of milk quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SCC levels on milk production, composition, colour, coagulation properties, and cheese-making ability in Manchega dairy sheep. A total of 752 individual milk samples were analysed. To normalise SCC distribution, the somatic cell score (SCS) was calculated and samples were classified into SCS classes. Increasing SCS significantly reduced daily milk yield and lactose content, increased milk pH, and decreased lightness (L*). Higher SCS was also associated with impaired coagulation properties, including longer rennet clotting time (RCT) and curd firming rate (k
