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

The Ecuadorian highlands provide favourable climate conditions for bovine milk production, where small- and medium-sized farms represent over 80% of dairy producers. However, in communities with limited technological resources, both clinical (CM) and subclinical mastitis (SM) pose significant challenges to productivity. This study surveyed a dairy-producing community in the central Ecuadorian highlands to evaluate risk factors associated with bovine mastitis and to analyse milk quality parameters. The prevalence of SM and CM at the animal level was 34.8% (130/374) and 1.9% (7/374), respectively, and at the farm level, it was 34.1% (29/85) for SM and 7.0% (6/85) for CM. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with the presence of SM and CM. An associated factor with the presence of SM (
