Early-onset muscle weakness syndrome (MW) in an Australian Holstein calf.
Article in Australian veterinary journal, 2025. 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
Early-onset muscle weakness syndrome (MW) is a recessive genetic disorder known to affect Holstein cattle. This report describes the clinical findings in an Australian Holstein calf diagnosed with MW. The calf initially presented for examination at a dairy farm at 3 days of age, being recumbent since birth but able to stand with assistance. A presumptive diagnosis of traumatic injury was made at first. However, the calf was re-examined multiple times due to ongoing intermittent episodes of recumbency, prompting further diagnostic investigation. Given the non-specific nature of the clinical and laboratory findings, a presumptive diagnosis of MW was made after reviewing the calf's breeding pedigree. A definitive diagnosis, however, required genotype testing. To the authors knowledge, this case report represents the first peer-reviewed manuscript to describe the clinical presentation of MW in an Australian Holstein calf.
