Prevalence and Types of Gross Lung Lesions in Cattle Slaughtered at the Gondar ELFORA Abattoir: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Background and aim: The respiratory system, particularly the lungs, is highly vulnerable to various diseases due to the inhalation of contaminated air and the aspiration of drenches. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gross lung abnormalities and their economic impact in cattle slaughtered at the Gondar ELFORA abattoir. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was used in the study period between December 2023 and June 2024. Systematic random sampling was used to examine every fourth lung hung on the rail. A total of 382 lung samples were examined by visual inspection, palpation, and incision and analysed using descriptive statistical analysis, including calculation of prevalence and the χ Result: The study showed that 231 (60.45%) of the lungs examined had one or more lesions. The prevalence of specific lung conditions was as follows: emphysema (18.06%; Conclusion: During the study period, nearly half of the lungs of slaughtered cattle were rejected due to zoonotic concerns and aesthetic values. The substantial rate of pulmonary lesions with a predominant rate of hydatidosis and emphysema resulted in a considerable rejection rate, implicating a critical public health concern. The significant rate of economic loss from this abattoir with low slaughter volume could indicate huge economic loss at the country level and the urgency of improving herd health management.
