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

Feed efficiency (FE) is pivotal in dairy production systems. Improving FE reduces feed costs, the largest variable expense in dairy operations, while also decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly enteric methane. In tropical dairy systems based on Bos indicus breeds such as Gyr, understanding the biological consistency of FE indicators across production phases is essential to guide genetic selection strategies. Our study aimed to evaluate the consistency of FE indicators between the growth and lactation phases in dairy Gyr cattle. A total of 171 heifers were evaluated during the growth phase using residual feed intake (RFI
