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
The most common genotype for beta casein (β-CN) in European dairy cattle is A1A2, producing A1 and A2 variants merged in most traded bovine milks. A premium A2-milk category emerged worldwide through selection of A2A2-genotyped cows to produce added-value milk. Absence of A1 β-CN in bovine milk was assessed by a straightforward, cost-effective bottom-up low-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) methodology powered by ion-trap analysis. A preliminary data-dependent MS/MS exploratory approach characterized A1 and A2 variants in milk extracts digested with trypsin, pepsin, and thermolysin. Relative quantitation of selected peptide biomarkers was performed through Selected Reaction Monitoring analysis, detecting levels of 0.1% of A1 β-CN in milk mixtures from A1A1/A2A2-genotyped cows. Besides effective tryptic digestion, alternative thermolysin yielded short peptides that facilitated separation, while acidic pepsin supports the development of low-cost procedures. Affordability and robustness of this strategy favor its implementation by control laboratories addressing the authentication of A2 milk.
