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
Mastitis is a major cause of economic losses in the dairy industry. The aim of the present study was to examine the overall prevalence of mastitis in Algeria using a systematic review and meta-analysis. The search strategy was performed for relevant literature published from 2002 to 2023 in English and French language. The databases included were PubMed, ScienceDirect, GoogleScholar, Scopus, Springer, Algerian national database i.e., the Scientific Information Database (pnst.cerist.). A total of 4,698 dairy cows were included in the 20 eligible studies for this meta-analysis. The prevalence of mastitis was estimated at 41% [95% CI 32-49%, PI 10-81%]. Cochran's Q statistic was 405.5 (df = 19, p < 0.001), with I² = 95% and τ² = 0.0385, indicating substantial heterogeneity. The results indicated that there is high heterogeneity among studies for overall analysis. In conclusion, estimating prevalence of mastitis among cattle in Algeria, through meta-analysis (MAs) can provide adequate measures to control mastitis infection, Moreover, effective early diagnosis and proper medication may help our country to reduce incidence of mastitis and economic losses in dairy industry.
