Farmers' perceptions towards the effects of goat management system characteristics and the practices related to carob (
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. 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: The livestock management practices, especially those related to animal rearing systems and their feeding, are a fundamental element for the sustainability of this crucial activity for the people living in challenging areas with harsh environmental conditions and poor natural resources. Aim: This study aims to interpret the farmers' perceptions regarding the influence of goat management practices and dietary carob ( Methods: Research was performed using a standardized questionnaire with 202 goat keepers (a total livestock population of 9.627 goats) in the Béchar district (Southwestern Algeria), between March 2025 and June 2025. Results: Feeding practices that combined pasture grazing with concentrated supplements significantly increased feed intake (χ Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive understanding regarding the opinions of farmers towards the influence of the feeding and rearing practices on goat feed intake and weight gain, as well as the optimal strategies for carob supplementation. This may be used in feeding strategies to enhance carob consumption and increase its inclusion in goat diets across similar agro-ecological settings.
