Investigating the Effects of Flunixin Meglumine and Meloxicam on Humoral Immune Responses Against
Article in Archives of Razi Institute, 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
Introduction: Disruption of the endometrial barrier after gestation leads to devastating effects on the cow's reproductive system. However, the accumulating immune responses help repair and defend the endometrium against microbial infections. Nevertheless, excessive inflammation could lead to chronic inflammation and consequently result in reproductive issues. The administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce the harmful effects of excessive inflammation, modulate the immune response, and improve reproductive indices in postpartum dairy cows. The aim of this study is to evaluate the side effects of NSAID administration on humoral immune responses, which could potentially inform the development of more effective treatment strategies for postpartum cows. Materials & Methods: The study involved a total of 60 apparently healthy cows, which were divided into three groups Flunixin meglumine, meloxicam, and control. The test groups were treated at 3 and 8 days after calving. To assess the humoral immune responses, the IgG and IgM titers against Results: The results of the study showed that the drugs did not significantly affect the total specific and nonspecific antibody levels against tested pathogens. A time-dependent decrease and increase in the levels of IgM and IgG antibodies against Conclusion: The results showed a reduction in IgM and IgG titers against both pathogens after treatment with meloxicam and flunixin, respectively. However, the elevation of IgG and IgM titers suggested that the treatment affected antibody isotype switching rather than suppressing humoral immune responses.
