Hormonal, biochemical and hematological changes in neonatal calves with sepsis induced by enteritis.
Article in Iranian journal of veterinary research, 2026. 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
Background: Diarrhea is one of the most important problems seen in calves during the neonatal period. Sepsis caused by diarrhea is the main cause of death. In the case of sepsis, many hormonal, hematological and biochemical changes occur in calves. It is extremely important to evaluate these parameters together. Aims: The present study aimed to investigate hormonal, biochemical, and hematological changes in neonatal calves affected by septic enteritis to obtain more information about the pathogenesis of sepsis. Methods: The study included a sepsis group consisting of 40 calves aged 0-15 days with enteritis, and a control group composed of 20 clinically and hematologically healthy calves of similar age. Calves presenting with enteritis, anorexia, severe dehydration, and general condition deterioration were examined, and those meeting the sepsis criteria were included in the study. Hematological, hormonal, and biochemical measurements were performed on blood samples obtained from the calves. Additionally, pathogenic agents causing enteritis were identified using immunochromatographic methods on fecal samples. Results: In the sepsis group, creatinine, total protein, and urea levels, as well as the enzymatic activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and creatine kinase (CK) were significantly higher compared with the healthy group (P<0.05), while cholesterol levels were significantly lower (P<0.001). The total leukocyte count (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and granulocyte count were also found to be higher in the sepsis group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, calves in the sepsis group were determined to be hypothermic, tachycardic and tachypneic compared with the control group (P<0.05). In the sepsis group, notable reductions in free T3, free T4 and erythropoietin (EPO) levels were observed (P<0.05). However, cortisol, insulin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels were significantly higher than those in the healthy group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sepsis causes significant hematological, biochemical and hormonal changes in neonatal calves.
