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

backgroundSubclinical mastitis is the predominant form of mammary inflammation in dairy buffaloes and remains a diagnostic challenge under field conditions.

objectivesThis study assessed milk C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in relation to somatic cell count (SCC) and microbiological findings in Anatolian and Italian Mediterranean buffaloes.

methodsMilk samples were collected from 160 individual mammary lobes and classified as subclinical mastitis-positive or healthy based on combined cytological and bacteriological criteria. SCC was determined using an automated cell counter, microbiological examination was performed by conventional culture and identification methods, and milk CRP concentrations were quantified by a sandwich ELISA.

resultsSCC was significantly higher in subclinical mastitis-affected mammary lobes than in healthy controls in both breeds (p < 0.001). Mean SCC values were 1616.05 ± 167.04 ×10

conclusionsThese results indicate that milk CRP reflects mammary inflammatory activity and provides information complementary to SCC in the evaluation of subclinical mastitis in dairy buffaloes.
