1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The physiological functions of newborn calves are undeveloped, especially the immune system, making them susceptible to infections. In recent years, the theory of trained immunity has attracted attention and provided new strategies to prevent unknown infections in animals. This study investigated the effects of feeding yeast β-glucan on the intestinal and respiratory health of calves during the suckling period. Newborn Holstein calves (average birth weight: 36.18 ± 0.61 kg, mean ± SE) were randomly assigned to two groups: the PO (Per Os) group (
