Association between postpartum systemic inflammation and serum calcium in healthy multiparous dairy cows: An exploratory observational analysis.
Article in JDS communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Our objective was to investigate the association between serum total Ca concentration (tCa) and indicators of systemic inflammation (SI) in postpartum dairy cows. We hypothesized that the tCa-SI association varies in the first 8 d of lactation. This exploratory analysis used data from a field trial in which cows were randomly assigned to receive oral Ca supplementation after calving (OSCa), or not. Healthy multiparous cows (total n = 101; n OSCa = 51) from 2 farms in Ontario, Canada, were included. The inflammatory markers assessed were serum concentrations of albumin (a negative acute phase protein), and the positive acute phase proteins haptoglobin and serum amyloid A (SAA). Albumin, haptoglobin, and tCa were assessed at 0 (<12 h after calving), 0.5 (12 h), 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 d after parturition; SAA was assessed at d 0, 2, and 4. Linear regression models were fitted while accounting for time as a repeated measure for each analyte, and included tCa, tCa
