Physiological stage dependent hematobiochemical and echocardiographic changes in dromedary camels.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn livestock, identifying physiological and reproductive stages is crucial for informed decisions in nutrition, healthcare, and breeding management.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate hematobiochemical and Doppler echocardiographic changes in dromedary camels during three key stages: non pregnant, late pregnancy, and early lactation. METHODOLOGY: Thirty healthy camels were monitored across three physiological stages. Blood samples were analyzed for complete blood count (CBC) and serum metabolic parameters, including Beta-hydroxy-butyric acid (BHBA) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Doppler echocardiography assessed cardiac morphology and function.
resultsLate pregnancy was associated with a significant (P < 0.05) increase in red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), and neutrophils, while packed cell volume (PCV), total white blood cell (WBC) count, and monocytes decreased. Serum glucose and cholesterol declined significantly (P < 0.05) in late pregnancy and early lactation, while Beta-hydroxy-butyric acid (BHBA) increased. Late-pregnant camels showed elevated levels of albumin, globulin, potassium (K), and cardiac troponin, but lower total protein (TP). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were highest in non-pregnant camels. NEFA levels rose significantly in early lactation. Echocardiographic findings revealed increased left ventricular wall thickness and decreased systolic diameter (LVIDs) in early lactation. Heart rate (HR) increased in late pregnancy. No significant changes were observed in pulsed-wave Doppler indices.
conclusionsDistinct physiological stages in dromedary camels are associated with significant hematobiochemical alterations and minor echocardiographic changes, offering valuable insights for clinical and reproductive management.
