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

Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), a multifactorial syndrome driven by viral and bacterial co-infections, poses significant challenges to cattle health in northern China. We performed a large-scale epidemiological and phylogenetic investigation (2022-2024) to identify BRDC pathogens in the region. A total of 5052 samples from symptomatic Holstein calves (nasal swabs, sera, tissues) were analysed using virological, bacteriological and molecular methods. Viral pathogens-bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine parainfluenza virus-3 (BPIV-3) and bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1)-dominated infections, with pronounced seasonal peaks in colder months. The prevalence of non-cytopathic BVDV highlighted clinical difficulties. Bacterial infections involved Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis), Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, with M. bovis prevalent in mixed infections. Phylogenetic analysis revealed biological connections between Chinese isolates and international strains (e.g., BVDV subgenotypes 1a/1d and BPIV-3c), showing global pathogen flow. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of viral popular structure. Meanwhile, seasonality strongly influenced viral dynamics, while bacterial detection remained stable, involving environmental and management factors. Pathogen co-infections demonstrate the complexity of BRDC. This study provides the first comprehensive BRDC pathogen profile for northern China, emphasising the need for region-specific control strategies, including multipathogen vaccines and improved biosecurity.
