Associations of Neonatal Dairy Calf Faecal Microbiota with Inflammatory Markers and Future Performance.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
After birth, the immune system is challenged by numerous elements of the extrauterine environment, reflected in fluctuations of inflammatory markers. The concentrations of these markers in the first month of life are associated with the future performance of dairy youngstock. It is thought that bacterial genera colonizing the calf intestinal tract can cause inflammation and thus affect their host's performance via immunomodulation. This study explored how the faecal microbiota of newborn dairy calves were related to inflammatory markers during the first three weeks of life, and if the abundance of specific genera was associated with first-lactation performance. Ninety-five female Holstein calves were studied. Once a week, serum and faecal samples were collected, serum concentrations of serum amyloid A, haptoglobin, tumour necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 were measured, and faecal microbiota composition was examined by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.
