Investigation of Serum Biochemical and Oxidative Stress Markers in Calves Infected with Cryptosporidium.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Cryptosporidium infection observed in calves in Iğdır, Türkiye, on oxidative stress parameters and biochemical indicators. This study is of great importance for better understanding the pathogenesis of the infection and developing effective intervention strategies.
methodsA total of 65 calf fecal samples were collected and evaluated using a rapid diagnostic test and carbol fuchsin staining method. Oxidative stress and biochemical analyses were performed using serum samples from infected calves exhibiting diarrhea symptoms, as well as healthy uninfected calves. In this context, total thiols, natural thiols, disulphides, natural thiol/total thiol ratios, disulphide/natural thiol ratios, disulphide/total thiol ratios, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity, as well as urea, creatinine, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), which reflect liver function, were measured.
resultsPositivity was detected in 24/50 (48%) calves with diarrhea symptoms and in 2/15 (13.3%) healthy calves. In infected calves, statistically significant increases were observed in disulphide levels, disulphide/natural thiol ratio, ADA activity, uric acid levels, and ALT activity compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe data obtained reveal that cryptosporidiosis may cause cellular damage by increasing the oxidative stress response in calves and may affect liver function. The study emphasises the need for more comprehensive research on the pathogenesis of the infection and highlights the critical role of early diagnosis and effective treatment approaches in combating the infection.
