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

Individual cattle identification is essential for traceability and precision livestock management, but conventional identifiers may be lost or damaged. This study evaluated a non-invasive biometric framework based on PN images. A two-stage pipeline combined a YOLOv12n detector for muzzle localization with an ImageNet-pretrained EfficientNetB0 classifier for individual identification. Forty-eight cattle (32 adult cows and 16 calves) were photographed on 31 January 2025 (T0) and again on 11 June 2025 (T1), a 131-day interval. Four images per animal were obtained at each session, producing 384 longitudinal images. The detector-development dataset comprised 565 original images from cattle sampled independently at a slaughterhouse and 210 public Zenodo images, with no animal- or image-level overlap with the longitudinal dataset. The 775 detector images were randomly partitioned at image level into training (
