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 aim of this study was to estimate the suckling milk yield (SMY) of the Sicilo-Sarde ewes during different length of suckling periods and to evaluate its impact on the lambs’ growth. The SMY was estimated by the method of weighing lambs before and after suckling. Eight controls were carried out on a sample of ten ewes aged 3.90 ± 0.50 years, suckling single male lambs. The measurement of SMY was conducted weekly until weaning. The daily and total SMY were 1.33 ± 0.21 kg/d and 79.62 ± 12.58 kg, respectively for 60 days suckling period. The SMY was estimated at 39.30 ± 7.20 kg and 61.31 ± 10.67 kg for 30 and 45 days of suckling, respectively. Lamb weights were 11.31, 14.73 and 18.24 kg respectively at 30, 45 and 60 days of age. The average daily gain (ADG) calculated between the ages of 10 and 30 days (ADG10-30), and 30 and 60 days (ADG30-60) were 222 ± 46 and 231 ± 45 g/d, respectively. Lambs weight at 30 days and ADG10-30 were the most correlated indicators with all SMY (0.71 ≤ r ≤ 0.80; P < 0.05). The SMY levels of ewes and the lambs’ growth obtained are satisfactory and indicate an interesting dairy potential of this breed. Weaning lambs at 45 days increases the marketed milk, without negatively affecting the lambs’ growth.
