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

Three randomized complete block design experiments evaluated a single implant strategy versus approved re-implant strategies in feedlot cattle using trenbolone acetate (TBA) and estradiol-based implants. Revalor implants were from Merck Animal Health; Synovex implants were from Zoetis. Exp. 1: A total of 1400 steers (initial BW = 320 kg), housed in open lot, dirt-surfaced pens with a concrete apron, were assigned to either a single Revalor-XS (initial 80 mg TBA + 16 mg E2; delayed 120 mg TBA + 24 mg E2) administered 209 d pre-harvest (XS) or a re-implant strategy of Synovex-Choice (100 mg TBA + 14 mg EB) on d 0 followed by Synovex-ONE Feedlot (200 mg TBA + 28 mg EB) 60 d later (CHSOF). Pen served as the experimental unit. Initial BW differed and was included as a covariate. CHSOF increased (
