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

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between RFI (residual feed intake) and traits related to methane emissions in cattle. Searches were performed in PubMed and Web of Science using keywords in English. The selected studies compared traits related to methane emissions between animals with divergent RFI and/or the correlation between traits related to methane emissions and RFI. Meta-analysis was performed for traits showing three or more uncorrelated results. After application of the exclusion and inclusion criteria, 27 studies were included in the present review. Meta-analysis of the comparison of means was possible for seven traits and meta-analysis of phenotypic correlations for three traits. CH
