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

In beef cattle breeding, analysing body size parameters enables the evaluation of production-related correlations and growth dynamics. By assessing these traits at multiple time points, it is possible to examine whether early measurements are associated with later development and may provide information relevant to early selection decisions. In this study, the correlations between the data measured at weaning age (230 days) and at 13-14 months of age (weight, withers height, rump height, back length, shoulder width, hip width and pin width) were analysed. Data from bull calves classified as 'Breeding-approved' or 'Removed at weaning age' were also compared. The results indicated a weaker correlation between body measurements taken at weaning age (r
