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

Non-infectious diseases such as ketosis could present a major threat to the development of the dairy subsector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A retrospective study (2019 to 2022) was conducted on 7511 fresh lactating cows to estimate the monthly cumulative incidences of subclinical ketosis (SCK) and clinical ketosis (CK) at one dairy farm in the UAE as a case study. Clinical examination for signs of ketosis and measuring the blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration were used for defining the ketosis status of the study cows. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and binary logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis. The mean monthly cumulative incidence of SCK over four years was 11.16% (95% CI: 10.45, 11.89) while that of CK was 0.53% (95% CI: 0.38, 0.72). The mean monthly cumulative incidences of both SCK was associated (p < 0.0001) with year, season and parity. Besides, the mean monthly cumulative incidence of CK was associated year (p < 0.01) with season. Thus, the mean monthly cumulative incidence of CK was low at the study farm while that of SCK was moderate. Therefore, control and preventive measures of ketosis were recommended to reduce the incidence of SCK at the study farm.
