Seasonal relationship between liver abscesses and feeding behavior in crossbred beef cattle.

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
This retrospective study evaluated how feeding behavior during the last 60 to 90 days on feed related to liver abscess prevalence in crossbred beef steers finished in summer or fall. Liver abscesses were scored at slaughter as a binary trait with 10.8% prevalence, and individual feed intake data were collected from 1,114 steers using an automated feeding system. Feeding behavior traits included daily dry matter intake, eating time, meal frequency, meal size, meal length, and variability measures. Meals were defined by grouping all feeding events that occurred within 49 min of each other into a single meal. Generalized linear mixed models assessed associations between liver abscess presence and feeding behavior; accounting for finishing season, beef breed type, heterosis, slaughter weight, slaughter age, and contemporary group. Across seasons, steers with less average daily gain were more likely to have liver abscesses (
