Cow-Related Injuries in Wisconsin During 2017-2023.
Article in American journal of industrial medicine, 2025. 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
introductionThe dairy industry-a key industry for the economy-remains a potentially hazardous industry across the nation. The literature on animal-related injuries in the agriculture industry is sparse. This analysis aimed to describe cow-related injuries, the utilization of workers' compensation, and the circumstances of the injuries.
methodsThis mixed methods analysis of agricultural injuries focused on cow-related injuries in hospital discharge and workers' compensation data during 2017-2023. Cases, aged 12 or older, were identified in the hospital discharge data using ICD10-CM codes. Cow-related claim injury narratives and industry and occupation data were extracted from workers' compensation data.
resultsDuring 2017-2023, cow-related injuries represented 13.1% (n = 2659) of agricultural injuries and were the second most predominant cause of work-related agricultural injuries. These injury figures were stable, compared to a downward trend of non-cow-related injuries (p = 0.01). Young workers (12-34 years) and Hispanic workers had the highest burden for cow-related injuries. The top five body parts affected by cow injuries were the upper (24%) and lower (23%) extremities, other head, face, and neck (22.1%), chest (15.2%), and traumatic brain injury (5.1%). Workers' compensation was used in 28.5% of cases identified in the hospital discharge data. Animal handling, lack of farm worker safety measures, and equipment safety were identified as factors associated with cow-related injuries.
conclusionThis analysis identified a surprising number of cow-related injuries, including some life-threatening injuries. It is important to continue to promote safety measures and injury prevention best-practices to ensure worker well-being and farm productivity.
