1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Multi-parity records improve ewe evaluation but require long-term follow-up. This study compared litter size, litter weight, and lambing type across four parities in 256 Hu sheep and 90 Tan sheep and evaluated six candidate SNPs in Hu sheep. The SNPs were confirmed by PCR and Sanger sequencing and genotyped using PARMS; repeated records were analyzed with mixed-effects models. The Hu sheep population showed higher litter weight and multiple-birth proportions than the Tan sheep population, together with a higher mean litter size. Analysis of 822 records from 256 Hu ewes showed that both traits increased from the first to the third parity and then remained stable; the same pattern occurred in 156 ewes with complete records. After BH-FDR correction,
