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
This study investigated the epidemiological characteristics and associated risk factors of neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) across 115 dairy cattle farms representing seven geographical regions in Türkiye. Our findings revealed a calf diarrhea prevalence of 26.81%, with an associated mortality rate of 15.58%. Furthermore, NCD was observed to cause a substantial 11-30% reduction in weight gain, highlighting its significant economic impact. Logistic regression analysis identified that the presence of dedicated maternity and calf housing, timely colostrum administration, and stringent hygiene protocols (specifically teat and bottle disinfection) significantly mitigate the risk of diarrhea. Notably, the probability of NCD was 81% lower in enterprises equipped with a maternity compartment and 71% lower in those with separate calf housing. While seasonal variations and regional climatic differences-specifically in temperate and Mediterranean zones-indicated a lower incidence of diarrhea, these parameters did not reach statistical significance. The study concludes that strategic investments in managerial infrastructure and the rigorous application of preventive hygiene practices are paramount to minimizing the substantial economic losses attributed to neonatal calf diarrhea in the dairy industry.
