Myocardial Stress Biomarkers and Inflammatory Indices in Cattle With Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2026. 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
backgroundBovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is primarily considered a pulmonary disorder; however, hypoxia and systemic inflammation associated with this condition may also impose cardiovascular stress.
objectivesThis exploratory study investigated myocardial stress biomarkers in cattle with BRDC and evaluated their relationships with haematological inflammatory indices and ratio-derived enzyme patterns reflecting tissue injury dynamics.
methodsTwenty-four Simmental crossbred cattle aged 6-10 months were included, comprising 16 BRDC-affected animals and 8 clinically healthy controls. Myocardial stress biomarkers, including heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), were measured. Haematological indices and ratio-derived parameters, including the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), AST/CK and CK-MB/H-FABP, were calculated. Group comparisons, correlation analyses, receiver operating characteristic analysis and multivariable linear regression were performed.
resultsCompared with controls, BRDC cattle showed significantly higher WBC, LYM, LMR, H-FABP, CK-MB, CK, AST, LDH, AST/CK, CK-MB/H-FABP, heart rate, respiratory rate and rectal temperature, whereas MCH and MCHC were lower (p < 0.05). For example, H-FABP concentrations were higher in BRDC cattle (0.65 ± 0.09 vs. 0.34 ± 0.07 ng/mL), and heart rate was markedly increased (146 [106-184] vs. 79 [60-88] beats/min). H-FABP correlated positively with inflammatory and physiological parameters and strongly with heart rate. Multivariable linear regression identified RBC as an independent factor associated with H-FABP concentrations (p < 0.001), whereas LMR was not independently associated with H-FABP after adjustment (p = 0.087; adjusted R
conclusionsBRDC may be accompanied by elevations in myocardial stress biomarkers that parallel systemic inflammatory activation and physiological stress. Integrated evaluation of myocardial stress biomarkers and inflammatory indices may offer a potentially useful exploratory framework for characterizing cardiopulmonary stress responses in BRDC; however, further validation in larger cohorts is required.
