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
Aim: This study investigated the prevalence, associated risk factors, hemodynamic characteristics, and response to prostaglandin F₂ Materials and methods: In Experiment 1, 338 females were examined for breeding soundness during the breeding season to determine the prevalence and risk factors of OVGFs (>2 cm in diameter). In Experiment 2, 45 females were categorized by follicular structure and scanned with spectral Doppler ultrasonography. In Experiment 3, 14 barren females with OVGFs were given PG treatment and monitored for hormonal changes and fertility outcomes. Results: OVGFs were found in 16.6% of the camels examined, with single (55.5%), double (35.7%), and triple (8.9%) follicles. The majority of affected ovaries contained growing or mature follicles (60.6%) or corpora lutea (3.7%), while 35.7% lacked any additional structures. OVGFs were linked to ovarian hydrobursitis (OVHB, 50%), clinical endometritis (CE, 35.7%), normal genitalia (12.5%), and pregnancy (1.8%). Significant risk factors were OVHB (OR = 27.5; Conclusion: In conclusion, overgrown follicles are relatively frequent in dromedary camels and are frequently associated with genital pathologies, particularly ovarian hydrobursitis and endometritis. Their variable vascularization and limited response to prostaglandin treatment suggest that OVGFs may be a persistent follicular condition with low therapeutic reversibility, which has implications for camel fertility management.
