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

This study aimed to assess the effects of milking frequency and udder fill time on milk production and the morphophysiological characteristics of udder and teats. Using a group of 15 female donkeys aged 3-7 years, the study was split into two trials: The first assessed the effects of different udder fill times (2, 3, and 4 h) on milk production and mammary morphometry, while the second analyzed the impact of milking frequency (once, twice, or three times a day) on milk production and somatic cell count (SCC). Trial 1 showed that a 4-h fill time resulted in greater milk volume (313 g), with significant increases in udder length (4.5%), depth (3.6%), and teat diameter (9.7%) (
