Sonograms of perineal muscles as a noninvasive diagnosis of pyometra and endometritis in beef cows: a preliminary study.
Article in Archives animal breeding, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Changes in reproductive status affect the perineal muscles. These modifications enable the noninvasive diagnosis of pyometra and mastitis in beef cows. This study aims to assess the thickness and intensity of the coccygeus and levator ani muscles in beef cows affected by the reproductive disorders of pyometra and mastitis. The sample consisted of 59 Bali beef cows, 75 Madura beef cows, and 71 Ongole cross beef cows. The cervical organs, uterine corpus, uterine cornua, and placenta were visualized using transrectal imaging. The resulting images were categorized into two groups: a control group (with nonpregnant nonpartum, pregnant, and nonpregnant postpartum statuses) and a group with reproductive disorders. The coccygeus and levator ani muscles were visualized using transcutaneous imaging. Pregnant Bali beef cows have thicker coccygeus muscles than nonpregnant nonpartum Bali beef cows (
