Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Although ashwagandha, or Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two doses of ashwagandha on physiological and reproductive parameters in Awassi sheep in Iraq. Methods: Thirty Awassi ewes were randomly assigned to three groups (10 each) for 60 days: a control (placebo), 300 mg/day ashwagandha, and 600 mg/day ashwagandha. Physiological (hepcidin, growth hormone, insulin, TSH, T3, T4) and reproductive (estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH) parameters were measured on days 0, 30, and 60, and body weights were recorded weekly. Results: The experimental data demonstrated that both experimental groups showed increased growth hormone levels along with decreased hepcidin and insulin levels, and thyroid hormone levels (T3 and T4) increased significantly ( Conclusion: Ashwagandha supplementation enhanced the metabolic and reproductive performance of Awassi sheep. It lowered insulin and hepcidin levels, increased growth hormone and thyroid hormone levels, and elevated estrogen, progesterone, and FSH levels, indicating improved metabolism and reproductive function.
