Prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows in Kabul, Afghanistan.

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
Background: Mastitis is a significant and economically burdensome disease in dairy cattle, leading to considerable production losses. Generally, it has been divided into two types: clinical and subclinical. The clinical type of mastitis is easily recognizable, whereas the subclinical type requires improved laboratory tests for its detection. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) in dairy farms in Kabul, Afghanistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2023 to estimate the prevalence and identify the major etiological agents of SCM in dairy farms. A total of 258 lactating cows were randomly selected from 12 farms. Diagnostic methods, including the California mastitis test (CMT), somatic cell count (SCC), and bacteriological culture, were employed to detect SCM. Results: Among 258 cows and 1,032 quarters, 63 cows (24.41%) and 86 quarters (8.33%) tested positive for SCM using CMT. CMT-positive samples were further analyzed for SCC and subjected to bacterial culture (BC) for etiological identification. Of the 63 cows and 86 quarters, 55 (21.32%) cows and 74 (7.17%) quarters tested positive for SCC. The mean SCC was highest for Conclusion: SCM is highly prevalent among lactating cows in Kabul, posing a significant challenge to dairy farming.
