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

Liver abscesses in cattle reduce animal performance, increase the environmental footprint of beef production, and cause significant economic losses. The low pH of the rumen resulting from the consumption of high grain diets damages the rumen epithelium and facilitates the translocation of opportunistic pathogens from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream where they can colonize the liver, causing infection. Recently, 16s rRNA sequencing has revealed that 25%-50% of liver abscess microbiomes have prominent levels of IMPORTANCE: Liver abscesses (LAs) are commonly found in cattle raised in feedlots and result from a bacterial infection of the liver. Not only are LAs a concern for animal health, but they also impact growth efficiency, animal welfare, and cost the North American beef industry upwards of $120 million per annum. Recently, it has been found that 25%-50% of liver abscess microbiomes have prominent levels of
