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

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the fetal programming effects of removing maternal heat abatement during late gestation on offspring growth, thermotolerance, physiological responses, and liver gene expression during the backgrounding phase. Methods: Fifty-six Angus-cross calves [32 steers and 24 heifers, 225 ± 5.3 kg body weight (BW), 9 ± 1.5 months of age] were enrolled at weaning in a 112-day backgrounding study. Calves were born from cows provided (SS, Results: SS calves were heavier at weaning and on d 14, 48, and 112 ( Conclusion: Removing maternal heat abatement during late gestation impaired offspring growth and thermoregulation during postweaning, enhanced humoral immunity, and altered liver gene expression.
