Retrospective study on the cumulative incidence of milk fever in parturient cows: a case study in the United Arab Emirates.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundDairy productivity can be improved by controlling metabolic diseases in dairy cows such as milk fever. The aim of this study was to estimate the cumulative incidence of milk fever during four years (2019 to 2022) at an anonymous dairy farm in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. For this study, the records of the diagnosis of milk fever in 7540 parturient cows during four years was used.
resultsThe monthly cumulative incidence of milk fever over four years was 2.2% (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.9, 2.3%). It was highest in 2021 (3.41 ± 0.41%) while it was lowest (0.87 ± 0.20%) in 2022. Based on multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, the odds of the monthly cumulative incidence of milk fever was 4.12 (95% CI: 2.31, 7.34) times higher in 2021 than in 2022. Similarly, it was 4.30 (95% CI: 2.38, 7.78) times higher in winter than in autumn. On the other hand, the monthly cumulative incidence of milk fever was 0.07 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.16) and 0.41 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.33) times lower in lactations 2 and 3 than in lactation 7, respectively. Lastly, milk fever was significantly associated with subclinical ketosis (χ
conclusionThe monthly cumulative incidence of milk fever could be considered as low while further strengthening preventive measures would benefit the farm.
