Effect of punicalagin and human chorionic gonadotropin on body weight and reproductive traits in maiden rabbit does.
Article in Veterinary and animal science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Little is known about the effect of punicalagin extracted from pomegranate or in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin on enhancing the productive and reproductive performance in rabbits that gestate for the first time. The impact of punicalagin alone or in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin on maiden doe body weight, progesterone concentrations, conception rate, gestation rate, litter size, and kit weight was investigated in this study. A completely randomized and balanced experimental design was used to allocate 21 naturally mated maiden does at 6 months of age into the following three treatment groups of 7 does each: Control - intramuscular injection with sterilized water only; Treatment 1 - pre-mating intramuscular injection with punicalagin (100 µg/doe) twice a week and once 3 days post-mating; and Treatment 2 - pre-mating intramuscular injection with punicalagin twice a week and human chorionic gonadotropin (25 IU/doe) once 3 days post-mating. Progesterone was assayed from blood samples taken from the ear marginal vein at mating, post-mating, gestation, and post-kindling phases when all does were weighed. Results indicated significantly positive impacts of punicalagin alone or in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin on all doe reproductive traits, birth, and weaning weights of kits. The study clearly demonstrated an improvement in doe fertility, reproductive performance, and kit survival to weaning. In conclusion, PL and PL+HCG improved maternal body weights and their offspring as well as pregnancy outcomes of young rabbits particularly in the 2nd pregnancy, hence findings of this study could be recommended for improving reproductive health and fertility in maiden rabbit does.
