Composition of White Rhinoceros Colostrum and Changes During Early Lactation to Mature Milk.
Article in Zoo biology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The proximate composition of milk from seven free-ranging white rhinoceroses during the first 20 days of lactation is reported with detailed analysis of minerals and fatty acids. The composition of colostrum (day 1) is marked by a high content of dry matter at 23.8 g/100 g milk, mainly consisting of 18.0 g/100 g proteins, 5.6 g/100 g lactose, 0.6 g/100 g fat, 0.7 g/100 ash and 0.2 g/100 g NPN. The major minerals consisted of 24.0 mg/100 g Na, 55.2 mg/100 g K, 33.4 mg/100 g Ca, 10.3 mg/100 g P, 10.1 mg/100 g Mg and 0.4 mg/100 g Zn. The gross energy was 123.2 kCal/100 g. On day 2 the dry matter decreased to 11.9 g/100 g, specifically the ash and protein, and an increase of lactose, Ca and P. The change from colostrum to milk was complete at day two and transitional changes continued to day 5. Changes up to twenty days were minimal with lactose as main component at 6.6 g/100 g, followed by 1.3 g/100 g protein, 1.0 g/100 g fat, 0.2 g/100 g ash, 0.1 g/100 g NPN, 5.6 mg/100 g Na, 15.0 mg/100 g K, 53.3 mg/100 g Ca, 19.9 mg/100 g P and a gross energy of 41.4 kCal/100 g. At days 3 and 4 of lactation the fat content of the rhinoceros milk peaked at 1.6 g/100 g milk. The milk fatty acid composition was characterized by a high saturated content of 68-82%. Capric-, lauric, myristic, and palmitic fatty acids were the major fatty acids, followed by oleic- and linoleic acids. Caprilic- and capric acid, as well as the sum of medium chain fatty acids content, steadily increased to stabilize after day 5. The Δ9-desaturase 16 and -18 indexes reached peak activity at days 2-3 of lactation.
