1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 associations between the hormone cortisol, the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, immunoglobulin A (IgA), heart rate (HR), rectal temperature (RT) and cow behavior pattern in relation to production stress, stress around calving, human handling and adaptation to the milking robot system. Blood samples of 315 Holstein-Friesian cows from five farms with AMS were taken within 14 d after calving (blood sampling date 1 (= BS1) to assess physiological responses during the early postpartum period, followed by human behavioral assessments at blood sampling date 2 (= BS2). Indicators for cow reactions to human handling at BS2 included measurements for the avoidance distance (AD) and scores for the tolerance to tactile interaction (TTI). Dopamine, serotonin and IgA were measured by ELISA tests, and cortisol concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. HR and RT as physiological stress indicators were recorded before blood sampling. Associations between blood and physiological biomarkers under different stressors were inferred via generalized linear mixed model applications. In model group 1, analyzing the effects of blood and physiological biomarkers at BS1 on the same biomarkers at BS1, serotonin significantly (
