Effects of breed and test duration on feed efficiency and feeding behavior in growing goats using GrowSafe feeding technology.

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.
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
This study aimed to determine the effects of breed and test durations on feed efficiency and feeding behavior in growing goats. Nineteen female goats (10 Alpine and 9 Spanish) were used in an 84-d feeding trial. Goats were housed in pens equipped with a GrowSafe feed bunk and received a pelleted diet twice daily with ad libitum access to feed, water, and mineral blocks. Feed intake, feeding behavior, and body weight were monitored throughout the trial to estimate average daily gain (ADG), metabolic body weight (MBW), expected dry matter intake (DMI), and residual feed intake (RFI) at 42, 56, 70, and 84 d. Data were analyzed using a repeated-measures model. The breed × test duration (TD) interaction was not significant for any trait except head-down (HD) duration and HD duration: bunk visit duration (BVD). Alpine goats exhibited greater ADG (0.233 vs. 0.191 kg/d) and DMI (1.80 vs. 1.44 kg/d) than Spanish goats (
