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

Introduction: Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is a common disease in dairy cows associated with dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiota and systemic inflammatory response. Gongying San (GYS), a commonly used herbal formula for the treatment of mastitis, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant effects, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, we performed a multi-omics analysis to determine the effects of GYS on intestinal microbiota and metabolites in cows with SCM. Methods: A total of 32 Holstein cows were divided into four groups of 8 cows each, including healthy control group, subclinical mastitis group, GYS treatment group (290 g/day) and ceftiofur treatment group (2.2 mg/kg bw). Results: GYS significantly increased milk yield, lactose and milk protein, and decreased somatic cell count (SCC) in milk from cows with SCM. In the serum, GYS decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD). In addition, there was an increase in Discussion: In the treatment of SCM, GYS showed multi-target therapeutic advantages of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties compared to antibiotics.
