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 bacterial mastitis is an inflammation of cows' udders by bacterial infection, leading to significant economic, animal welfare and public health consequences. Conventional diagnostic tests are expensive, time-consuming, and require specialised laboratories, making them unsuitable for on-farm surveillance and timely interventions. As an alternative, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has gained attention as a rapid, cost-effective and sensitive molecular diagnostic. LAMP amplifies DNA at a constant temperature, offering a simple and efficient method for bacterial detection. This review compiles studies on LAMP assays developed to detect major mastitis-causing bacteria. Thus, a total of 18 LAMP assays were identified using PRISMA guidelines. Colourimetric and turbidity-based LAMP assays were most frequently used. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus uberis and Escherichia coli were the most common bacteria detected. While LAMP demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in laboratory settings, its efficacy in field conditions remains uncharacterised. Nevertheless, the simplicity of sample preparation, resistance to inhibitors, short turnaround time, ease of running and simple-to-interpret results make LAMP a promising method for on-farm diagnosis. Overall, this review highlights the current state of LAMP developed for bovine mastitis and identifies gaps for future studies.
