Effects of birth season and reproductive performance in Romanov-derived F1 ewes in terminal crossbreeding.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. 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
Background: Terminal crossbreeding strategies combine prolific maternal lines with growth-oriented sires to enhance lamb productivity and carcass traits. Lamb meat production sustainability depends on genetic efficiency and seasonal adaptability. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of birth season and maternal genotype on reproductive performance, survival rates, and growth traits in lambs produced by Charollais rams crossed with Romanov × Akkaraman (RA) and Romanov × Morkaraman (RM) F1 ewes. Methods: Charollais rams ( Results: RM ewes showed a 13% higher lamb number at birth, whereas RA ewes had a 4.9% advantage at weaning. The survival rates were 12% higher in lambs from RA ewes. Spring lambing resulted in significantly larger litter sizes than summer lambing ( Conclusion: F1 maternal lines derived from Romanov crosses, especially under managed breeding strategies, offer promising results for enhancing lamb production efficiency and productivity under semi-intensive conditions.
