Improving beef calf health: frequency of disease syndromes, uptake of management practices following calving, and potential for antimicrobial use reduction in western Canadian herds.

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
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), calf diarrhea (CD), and navel infections are the most commonly reported diseases of western Canadian beef calves. The objectives of this study were to estimate the frequency of treatment for these diseases for specific age cohorts and identify potential opportunities for reducing antimicrobial use. Producers representing 89 western Canadian cow-calf herds completed a survey describing calfhood diseases and management. The most common reason for calf treatment before weaning was BRD (4.9%), and BRD treatment was described in 51% of reporting herds before 2 months of age. Calf diarrhea (2.9%) and navel infection (2.0%) were the second and third most common reasons for treatment. Most calves were treated for CD between 6 days and 1 month of age. Almost one in five herds reported routinely administering antimicrobials at birth. Calving heifers and cows together were all associated with an increased treatment risk for BRD in calves from birth to 2 months (OR 3.55, 95%CI 2.13-5.94,
