Association of Visual Heart Score with Gross Lung Pathology and Histology of Hepatic and Cardiopulmonary Tissues in Cattle at Harvest.

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
Non-infectious cardiac failure in feedyard cattle has become more frequently diagnosed. There is limited research assessing gross and histologic lesions in grossly abnormal hearts of harvested cattle. Cases were stratified by heart score (HS) using a scale of 1-5, with 1 representing a normal heart and 5 representing severely remodeled ventricles. Cattle were evaluated for gross lesions of the heart, lung, and liver. Samples collected from each animal for histology included cardiac (n = 4), pulmonary (n = 4), and hepatic (n = 1) tissues. Histologic evaluation scored cardiac and hepatic fibrosis and necrosis, embedded myocardial protozoal cysts (EMPCs) were quantified, and pulmonary lesions were categorized based on histologic patterns. Of 103 cases, 40 had normal HSs (NHSs) (1 or 2), and 63 had abnormal HSs (AHSs) (3, 4, or 5). There were 64 cases with normal lung deflation scores, and 39 cases with abnormal lung deflation scores. At least one cardiac section contained EMPCs in 67 cases. Cattle with abnormal lung deflation scores were more likely to have an AHS (0.76 ± 0.07,
