Prognostic indicators for survival in goats treated for toxic mastitis: A retrospective study.

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
Objective: The objective of this study was to retrospectively assess medical records of goats presented to the J.T. Vaughan Large Animal Teaching Hospital at Auburn University (Alabama, USA) for evaluation and treatment of toxic or gangrenous mastitis, and to identify prognostic indicators for survival to hospital discharge. Animals and procedure: Medical records of 35 postpartum female goats treated for toxic or gangrenous mastitis from December 2012 to January 2025 were analyzed. The diagnosis was based on mastitic changes to the mammary gland and milk, accompanied by systemic compromise. Following comparisons between discharged and non-discharged goats, continuous and categorical variables were included in univariate and multivariate regression models to evaluate their associations with the outcome. Results: Of the study animals, 74% (26/35) survived to hospital discharge and the remaining 26% (9/35) died or were euthanized. Odds of hospital discharge increased [odds ratio (OR): 2.98; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.44 to 7.97] for each 1°C increase in rectal temperature at admission ( Conclusion and clinical relevance: Goats treated for toxic mastitis at the J.T. Vaughan Large Animal Teaching Hospital had a favorable prognosis for survival and discharge from the hospital. Hospitalization to ensure sufficient supportive care, as well as treatment with IMA, may improve survival in select cases.
