Seasonality of bovine respiratory disease and mitigation techniques used in receiving beef cattle in the last 10 years: a meta-analysis.
Article in Translational animal science, 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
Despite recent advances in technology and biological, nutritional, and pharmaceutical products designed to mitigate disease, bovine respiratory disease (BRD) remains the leading cause of feedlot morbidity. The objectives were to (1) quantify the effects of BRD interventions that have been reported in the literature within the United States for the previous decade, and (2) to investigate seasonal effects on BRD incidence. A detailed literature search was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses methods. A total of 103 records (56 studies) met criteria by providing percentages of cattle treated at least once for BRD and reporting a control. Available data were extracted from each study for control groups and treatment groups and a logs risk ratio of both metrics (ai = controlBRD, bi = controlHealthy, ci = treatmentBRD, di = treatmentHealthy) was calculated for each record using the escalc function in the R package metafor (v4.8) in R (v4.5). A multi-level meta-analytical (MLMA) model was used to determine overall effects on BRD morbidity because data non-independence existed. The MLMA model yielded a pooled estimate for log ratios of 0.07 (
