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

The manuscript reports accidental water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) poisoning by monensin, a food supplement commonly used to feed cattle, and indicate some relevant aspects related to buffalo breeding. Most of the buffalo intoxication reports are accidental and occur in areas where buffalo breeding is not a traditional activity or in new buffalo breed without expert assistance. The present communication reports accidental buffalo poisoning due to monensin consumption at one corral that usually breed bovine to slaughter, a situation not reported before in Brazil. Monensin poisoning hypothesis was confirmed through investigation conducted by veterinarians using epidemiology, clinical signs and specific laboratory tests on food, blood and serum and biological samples obtained during a sick buffalo necropsy. Intoxicated animals presented apathy, anorexia, diarrhea, muscular weakness, locomotion disorders, dyspnea, tachycardia, jugular distension, pulse and recumbency, suggesting acute intoxication in the animals. Complementary diagnoses included myocarditis, moderate multifocal myonecrosis, myositis with lymphocytic infiltration and moderate multifocal oedema, presence of inflammatory biomarkers and normocytic normochromic anemia, typical of muscle damage observed in monensin poisoning.
