Indices of energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity in the indigenous, crossbred, and pure-bred heifers in subtropical climate.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
As breed is known to influence metabolic traits, we compared the energy indices in the heifers of milch (Holstein Frisian, Jersey and their crosses) and draught (Amrut mahal, Hallikar, and Khillari) breeds (n = 6/breed) maintained under a subtropical production system. Intravenous insulin tolerance test and glucose tolerance test were done to the heifers and serial blood samples were collected to determine the concentration of glucose (glc), insulin, and surrogate indices of insulin sensitivity. Further, the relative expression of glucose transporters (GLUT) in the skeletal muscle, udder, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined by qRT-PCR. The results revealed that the indigenous draught breeds had significantly higher glc and insulin concentrations, glycated hemoglobin, and plasma fructosamine. In contrast, exotic and crossbred dairy breeds had higher serum non-esterified fatty acid and β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations (P < 0.05). Further, the indigenous draught breeds showed a significantly higher slope and intercept of the glc curve, insulin stimulated higher blood glc reduction and elimination rate of glc than the pure and crossbred dairy breeds (P < 0.05). Insulin-stimulated glc uptake was higher in indigenous breeds, as evident from higher (P < 0.05) slope and intercept of the glc curve, glc clearance rate, and lower (P < 0.05) T
