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

Pasteurella multocida-induced hemorrhagic septicemia is an important bacterial disease of buffaloes and cattle, especially in resource-constrained and high-altitude regions. Although its economic and health implications are of vital interest, there has not been much studied about its occurrence among yaks. Pasteurella multocida, the pathogen causing hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle, was investigated in 922 yak serum samples collected from Lhasa, Nagqu, and Shigatse regions of Xizang from 2021 to 2024. Pasteurella antibodies were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and statistical analyses was performed using R software to assess association with factors such as age, gender, altitude, and feeding patterns. The overall seroprevalence was 15.71% (95% CI: 8.1-26.4), with yaks under three years at significantly higher risk (OR = 6.19, 95% CI: 1.80-28.40). These results highlight the need for improved disease management in calves and can inform prevention strategies in similar high-altitude livestock regions beyond Xizang. This study also emphasizes the need for targeted yak management strategies, including vaccination programs and improved nutritional support, especially for calves, to prevent the spread of Pasteurella infections. Implementing regular health monitoring and disease surveillance in yak populations will be essential for timely detection and effective control of outbreaks.
