Methods used for estimating sleep in dairy cattle.
Article in JDS communications, 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
Sleep serves several essential functions in all mammals including dairy cattle. Researchers are beginning to estimate sleep in dairy cattle using a combination of physiological measurements (e.g., polysomnography) as well as changes in behavior (e.g., different resting postures). Sleep may provide unique insight into how cows and calves respond to, and cope with, their environments, as a complement to other common measurements such as lying time. Although each of the methods to assess sleep in cattle has its advantages, there remain several challenges with each approach. The objective of this narrative mini-review is to describe current methods for estimating sleep in dairy cattle, including some of the advantages and limitations with each method. We will start with describing the research to date on adult cows, followed by preweaning dairy calves. We end the review with recommendations for researchers interested in assessing sleep in dairy cattle and ideas for future areas of research.
