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
Animal welfare in breeding cattle farms in the natural savannas of the Colombian Orinoquia has been qualitatively described as high, but standardized quantitative assessments were lacking. This study aimed to evaluate cattle welfare in a natural savanna breeding system using a comprehensive protocol based on the Welfare Quality® framework adapted for extensive systems, encompassing four welfare principles (good feeding, appropriate housing, good health, and appropriate behavior) and 12 criteria with 60 indicators. Data were collected during the dry season (January-March 2023) on 65 farms with commercial Brahman herds in La Primavera municipality, Vichada department, assessing 386 adult animals. The mean overall welfare index score was 63.1% ± 12.4 SD (range: 38.5%-87.2%), with 53.8% of farms classified as "high" and 15.4% as "excellent." Scores by principle were good feeding 89.5%, appropriate housing 95.1%, good health 74.0%, and appropriate behavior 56.5%. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) indicated that access to veterinary support was the factor most significantly associated with higher good-health scores (
