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

This study aimed to identify the presence of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) in diarrheic cattle and buffalo calves in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Ninety-six fecal samples were collected from calves aged 1 to 45 days, exhibiting watery diarrhea, dehydration, weakness, and recumbency. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) targeting an N-gene segment of BCoV was used to evaluate the presence of the virus. Selected PCR-positive samples were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed. The present study indicated 26 cattle and buffalo calves were positive for BCoV PCR in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The sequencing of PCR-positive samples confirmed the presence of BCoV and the obtained sequences were deposited in the public database Most of the positive samples (55.60%) belonged to calves < 10 days of age. The male (28.13%) calves had slightly higher. BCoV percentage positivity compared to females (25.00%). The cow (36.40%) calves had higher BCoV percentage positivity compared to buffalo calves (24.32%). Statistical comparison of BCoV positivity between various age groups, sex, and species indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in calves less than and above 30 days of age but no significant differences between sexes or species.
