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
Reining performance is influenced by subjectivity and competition structure, challenging genetic evaluation. This study estimated genetic parameters for reining performance in Brazilian Quarter Horses using random regression models (RRM) and evaluated how alternative phenotypic definitions affect genetic inference and predictive ability. A dataset comprising 21,165 longitudinal records from 1603 horses was analyzed, comparing within-group rank (RANK) and Blom-transformed rank (BLOM). Model comparison indicated that cubic RRM provided the best fit for both phenotypes. Heritability estimates were low and age-dependent, ranging from 0.01 to 0.17 for RANK and from 0.06 to 0.23 for BLOM. Permanent environmental and rider effects accounted for substantial phenotypic variance. Genetic correlations were higher between adjacent ages and declined across distant ages. RANK showed greater additive genetic stability across ages and slightly higher theoretical accuracy for total EBV among selected stallions. In contrast, BLOM showed greater consistency for the combined additive genetic + permanent environmental component, stronger favorable genetic trends, and better LR-based predictive performance across several age classes. Overall, both rank-based phenotypes were useful and complementary for genetic evaluation of reining performance. BLOM showed modest advantages for several criteria, whereas RANK retained relevant information for representing relative competitive performance on the observed scale.
