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 evaluated the prevalence of BRV infection and its impact on the health of dairy cows at different growth stages, with a particular focus on milk-fed calves. BRV was detected in rectal swabs via RT-qPCR. In the total sample of 2400 dairy cows examined at three farms, 103 (4.29%) were found to be positive for BRV. Similarly, of the 480 milk-fed calves, 70 (14.58%) were also found to be positive for BRV. Negative binomial regression analysis revealed that older farms had higher average BRV positivity rates than new farms did and that the BRV positivity rate was higher in autumn than in the other three seasons. Additionally, BRV positivity rates gradually decreased as calf age increased. In milk-fed calves, BRV positivity was positively correlated with morbidity and mortality and negatively correlated with ADG and ADGPR. These findings provide valuable insights for farm management, particularly for older farms, highlighting the detrimental effects of BRV infection on milk-fed calves and underscoring the importance of targeted control strategies to reduce BRV prevalence and optimize dairy production efficiency.
