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

This study describes a novel model of farm-based congenital defect recording, with use of accessory data from a national breeding organisation. The study ran from 2014 to 2023 inclusive resulting in 522 reports of bovine congenital defects with additional data available for a subset (369/522). The most commonly reported defect was intestinal atresia (24.3%), followed by multiple defects (19.9%), and tail abnormalities (13.4%). This is the first national survey of bovine congenital defects in Ireland. It shows that while farmer-reported cases generally lack a veterinary clinical or necropsy examination, farmers are in the unique position of being able to report phenotypic abnormalities first-hand, and provide an unbiased perspective of the true typology and epidemiology of congenital defects on farm.
