Early blood biochemical changes following colostrum intake in newborn Murrah buffalo calves: an observational study.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Colostrum is rich in macronutrients and bioactive components that support physiological adaptation during the neonatal period in ruminants. However, information on the early hematological, biochemical, and immunological changes to colostrum intake in buffalo calves remains limited. The present study evaluated changes in these parameters before and after colostrum intake in newborn Murrah buffalo calves (n = 20). Blood samples were collected before colostrum intake (within 30 min after birth) and after colostrum intake (12-15 h after birth). All buffalo calves had post-colostrum serum total protein (TP) concentrations >6 g/dL and serum Brix values ≥9%, which are indirect indicators of adequate transfer of passive immunity. Hematological parameters showed relatively minor changes, including a decrease in hemoglobin concentration from 15.42 ± 0.33 to 14.03 ± 0.33 g/dL. In contrast, marked increases were observed in serum biochemical parameters. Mean TP, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity, and serum Brix values increased from 4.60 ± 0.06 g/dL, 20.14 ± 2.81 U/L, and 7.25 ± 0.12%, respectively, before colostrum intake to 7.67 ± 0.28 g/dL, 2247.58 ± 331.64 U/L, and 10.0 ± 0.3%, respectively, after colostrum intake. Cytokine profiling showed increased levels of IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, IP-10, TNF-α, and MCP-1, whereas IL-8 and VEGF-A decreased after colostrum intake. Overall, these findings provide baseline information on early blood biochemical changes following colostrum intake in neonatal Murrah buffalo calves.
