Evaluation of the Glutaraldehyde Test as a Prognostic Indicator for Short- and Long-Term Mortality in Hospitalized Adult Cattle With and Without Sepsis.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe glutaraldehyde test (GT) is used as a point-of-care test to detect inflammatory disease in cattle.
objectivesDescribe the relationship between GT and fibrinogen as well as GT and total protein (TP) and determine the ability of the GT to predict death in cattle with and without sepsis. ANIMALS: A total of 367 hospitalized, adult cattle.
methodsClinical and laboratory findings, diagnoses, treatments, and outcome were recorded. Spearman correlation was used to assess the relationship of the GT with fibrinogen and GT with TP in septic and non-septic cattle. Likelihood ratios (LHRs) were calculated, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to identify the most appropriate threshold predictive of death. Logistic regression models were used to assess the predictive ability of the GT at this threshold.
resultsThe negative correlation between GT and fibrinogen was stronger in non-septic cattle (rho = -0.7; p < 0.001) compared with septic cattle (rho = -0.59; p < 0.001). Similarly, GT and TP showed stronger correlation in non-septic (rho = -0.52) than in septic cattle (rho = -0.34; p < 0.001, respectively). Non-septic cattle with a GT of ≤ 3 min were 2.7 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.79-4.02) more likely to die during hospitalization than cattle with a GT > 3 min. No significant associations were identified between GT results and death in septic cattle.
conclusionsThe GT can be recommended as a valuable tool for predicting death in non-septic cattle but should not be used in acutely septic cattle.
