Biometric evaluation of different limb regions in Iranian Arab horses.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Morphological variation in equine limb dimensions provides valuable insight into breed-specific characteristics, with biometric parameters serving as reliable tools for such evaluations. Aim: This study aimed to provide a quantitative characterization of the external morphology of the limbs in Iranian Arab horses. Methods: Morphometric data were collected from 30 adult specimens of this breed, encompassing key anatomical measurements: scapula length, arm length, forearm length, metacarpus length, forepastern length, metacarpus circumference, femur length, gaskin length, metatarsus length, hind pastern length, and metatarsus circumference. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that hind limb length displayed the lowest coefficient of variation, whereas forelimb length exhibited the highest, indicating differing degrees of morphological consistency across limb segments. Furthermore, comparative analysis across age and sex groups identified statistically significant differences in scapula length, arm length, forepastern length, and metacarpus circumference between stallions and mares. Conclusion: These findings underscore the influence of sexual dimorphism on specific limb traits in Iranian Arab horses and contribute to the understanding of breed morphology.
