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

Data on body weights of Bhadawari buffaloes, maintained under the "Network Project on Buffalo Improvement" program at ICAR-Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India, were used to assess the influence of maternal effects on growth traits of animals. Body weight data from 416 Bhadawari buffalo calves collected over a 17-year period (2006-2022) under the Network Project on Buffalo Improvement at ICAR-IGFRI, Jhansi, were analysed to assess the influence of maternal effects on growth traits. Traits considered for this study were birth weight (BW) and weights at 3 month (W3M), 6 month (W6M), 12-months (W12M), 18-months (W18M) and 24-months (W24M) of age. Least squares analyses of variance were employed to obtain the effects of both non-genetic and genetic factors on the traits of interest. Determination of influence of maternal effects on growth traits were estimated by fitting three univariate animal models, including or excluding maternal effects, by Bayesian method. The most appropriate model was selected based on Deviance Information Criteria. Direct heritability (h
