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
backgroundCaucasian pheasants (Phasianus colchicus colchicus) are an important subspecies within the family Phasianidae and are naturally distributed along the coastal regions of the Marmara and Black Sea in Türkiye, as well as in the Caucasus and surrounding areas. This subspecies plays a notable role in both the conservation of natural populations and commercial breeding programs. The present study aimed to evaluate egg production, egg quality characteristics and hatchability performance of Caucasian pheasants.
methodsThe study was conducted at the Research and Application Unit of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selcuk University. A total of 40 females and 4 males were used as experimental material and housed in four open pens (5.0 × 5.0 × 2.5 m) at a male-to-female ratio of 1:10. Pheasants were provided an 18% CP layer diet and water ad libitum. Eggs were collected twice daily over a 140-day period, and every 15 days, 10 eggs were randomly selected for egg quality analyses. The number of investigated was 90 eggs.
resultsThe observed fertility rate, hatchability, and hatchability of fertile eggs were 90.00%, 65.75%, and 73.34%, respectively. Embryonic mortality was determined to be 26.00%. The egg production of Caucasian pheasants was monitored for 140 days. On average, 91 eggs per hen were obtained from the pheasants. The rate of egg yield (%) was recorded as 65%.
conclusionsThe results indicated that Caucasian pheasants exhibit a high production potential in terms of egg. In conclusion, Caucasian pheasants can be raised without natural habitat such as Anatolian region. Moreover, this birds can have economical and ecological potential in similar condition areas.
