Comparative Analysis of Metabolic and Developmental Changes Across Reproductive Stages in Breeding Pigeons.
Article in The journal of poultry science, 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
The European meat pigeon is an economically important poultry species; however, the metabolic characteristics of its reproductive cycle remain poorly understood. This study investigated body weight, crop and ovarian development, and key metabolic indices in the plasma, liver, crop, and ovaries of male and female pigeons during incubation (days 0, 6, 12, and 18) and lactation (days 0, 7, 14, and 21). Pigeons displayed enhanced anabolism and weight gain during incubation, but intensified catabolism during lactation. Males markedly lost weight with slow recovery, whereas female weight declined early during lactation and gradually recovered. Plasma total cholesterol levels increased during incubation and subsequently decreased. Female triglyceride and glucose (GLU) levels initially decreased and then increased. Total antioxidant capacity and catalase activities were higher during incubation than during lactation, with significant sex-related differences. In females, hydrogen peroxide (H
