The influence of probiotic administration on the phagocytic and oxidative burst activity of neutrophils and monocytes in the peripheral blood of dairy cows during different lactation periods.

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
Introduction: The objective of this bovine peripheral blood study was a comparative assessment of the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and monocytes and of the intracellular killing capacity of neutrophils from cows given no probiotic and from cows which were administered a probiotic consisting of Material and Methods: A cohort of 20 pregnant dairy cows was divided into two groups of 10. The experimental group consisted of cows fed a ration supplemented with probiotics, and the control group consisted of cows fed an unsupplemented ration. Blood was drawn six times: 7 days before dry off, 14 days before parturition, and 7, 21, 60 and 90 days postpartum (DPP). The phagocytic activity of neutrophils and monocytes and the oxidative burst activity of neutrophils were determined by flow cytometry in the peripheral blood of all examined cows. Results: Phagocytosis testing revealed increased percentages of phagocytic neutrophils and monocytes in the experimental group at 21, 60 and 90 DPP (P-value < 0.01). The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values for neutrophils and monocytes were higher on all days of the study (P-value < 0.01). In oxidative burst testing, the percentages of detected neutrophils and their MFI were increased in the experimental group on all days (P-value < 0.01). Conclusion: The use of probiotics supported dairy cows' immunity throughout the whole experiment. Probiotic supplementation may limit the occurrence of infectious diseases in these animals.
