1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Heat stress affects fertility and productivity in dairy cattle, yet field studies from the Mediterranean area remain limited. This retrospective, observational cohort study aimed to investigate seasonal variation in: (1) conception and pregnancy rates (at 30 and 60d post-AI, respectively), number of services per conception, submission rate, calving to conception interval, and gestation length; (2) milk production and composition in Holstein Friesian cattle in two Italian farms during three consecutive years. Reproductive data, milk production, and composition were analyzed both monthly and based on three categories: Minimum risk temperature-humidity index (THI) < 56, Low risk (56 < THI < 68), and High risk (THI> 68). High, Low, and Minimum risk conditions occurred for approximately 4 months/year. In heifers that were not exposed to cooling system, the monthly submission rate peaked in May (17.9%) and was the lowest in September (9.4%
