Characterization of a Recovered Mediterranean Chicken Breed: The Case of Murciana.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In recent decades, conservation of local poultry breeds has gained relevance to preserve genetic resources adapted to low-input systems and to enhance their valorization. This study addresses a key knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive characterization of the endangered Murciana chicken breed, native to southeastern Spain. We jointly evaluate recent population dynamics, conservation framework, morphology and morphometrics, growth patterns, and reproductive and productive traits. Data includes census and pedigree records, standardized morphological assessments, growth modeling, and production data from the conservation nucleus. The population increased from fewer than 150 registered animals in 2017 to more than 550 in 2024, indicating stabilization. The breed showed characteristics of slow-growing dual-purpose Mediterranean genotypes, with marked sexual dimorphism, Gompertz relative growth rates of 0.020 d
