Effects of Post-Grazing Sward Height and Early or Late Turnout Date to Pasture on the Performance of Dairy Cross-Bred Steers.

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
Efficient grazing management is critical for optimising animal growth and carcass quality in dairy beef systems; however, the combined effects of turnout date to spring pasture and post-grazing sward height have not been well quantified. This study evaluated the effects of spring turnout date (early vs. late) and post-grazing sward height (3.5 vs. 5.5 cm) on steer performance, intake, and carcass attributes, over three production cycles in a dairy calf-to-beef system. A total of 188 dairy and dairy × beef steers (initial body weight approximately 250-285 kg) were used across three experiments, conducted in a pasture-based calf-to-beef system. Animals grazed for ~200 days followed by ~100 days of indoor finishing. Early turnout improved average daily gain during early- and mid-season (
