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

Semi-natural grasslands support biodiversity, but their capacity to combine conservation with beef production remains insufficiently quantified. This case study compared a sown ley and a permanent semi-natural grassland in Lithuania during the 2019-2020 grazing seasons, using eight bulls annually (16 animal observations; four per field per year). Plant diversity, herbage yield and composition, liveweight change, and beef quality were evaluated. Soil phosphorus status differed, with lower extractable phosphorus in the permanent grassland. Species richness was higher in permanent grassland than in sown ley (84 vs. 12 species), whereas herbage dry matter yield was lower (1.45 vs. 2.92 t DM ha
