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

Background: Bovine mastitis is a major economic challenge to dairy production globally. Despite its impact, there is limited information on the disease and its associated risk factors in the dairy sector of Dessie Town, Northeast Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of bovine mastitis, identify risk factors, and isolate Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 lactating dairy cows across smallholder farms and semi-intensive farms. Clinical examination and the California mastitis test (CMT) were used to detect clinical and subclinical mastitis, respectively. Risk factors were assessed via structured questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and multivariable logistic regression. Out of 374 mastitis-positive quarters identified, 52 were blind teats; consequently, a bacteriological analysis was performed on the remaining 322 viable milk samples for the exclusive isolation of Results: The cow-level prevalence of mastitis was 61.18%, with the prevalence of subclinical cases (48.68%) far exceeding that of clinical cases (12.5%). At the quarter level, 30.75% of the teats were affected. The right rear quarter showed the highest prevalence (34.21%), whereas the left front quarter was least affected (27.63%). Multivariable logistic regression revealed that crossbreed (AOR = 10.15; 95% CI: 2.52-40.94; Conclusion: This study revealed a high burden of both clinical and subclinical mastitis in dairy farms around Dessie Town, with
