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
A remarkable percentage of cows in industrialized dairy farms can be affected by uterine diseases including endometritis. Different viral and bacterial agents are causing endometritis in dairy cows including Trueperella pyogenes, and bovine alphaherpesvirus 1. Also, bovine gammaherpesvirus type 4 (BoGHV-4) is responsible for different reproductive disorders. The present study aimed to investigate the role of BoGHV-4 in histopathological and cytological changes of post-partum uterine diseases and its relation to bacterial co-infection. Forty-seven uteri were collected from Holstein dairy cows at least 35 days post-partum. Bacterial culture, cytological, and histopathological studies were conducted on the endometrial samples. The PCR reaction was conducted for the sequencing of the gB gene. PCR examination indicated that from 47 uteri obtained from a slaughterhouse, 13 uteri (27.7%) were positive for BoGHV-4. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between virus presence, and histopathologic and cytologic endometritis (P < 0.05). Also, Escherichia coli and Fusobacterium necrophorum presence was significantly related to BoGHV-4 infection. Vast varieties of other bacterial species were isolated from different samples but the relation between these bacteria and BoGHV-4 was not significant (P > 0.05). Altogether, it can be concluded that BoGHV-4 can play some roles in establishing endometrial inflammation increasing leukocyte infiltration in endometrium, and enhancing bacterial infection in the uterus of dairy cows. This is the first study, which detected the BoGHV-4 in Iranian cows using molecular methods.
