Role of selenium in cow fertility and reproduction-A review.
Review in Veterinary research communications, 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
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that regulates bovine health and reproduction by being incorporated into selenoproteins involved in antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, immune regulation, and redox homeostasis. This review synthesizes current evidence on the chemistry, bioavailability, metabolic fate, and reproductive functions of selenium in cattle. We emphasize the differences among inorganic, organic, and nano-selenium sources. Selenium status thresholds and supplementation strategies during critical physiological windows are summarized. We also highlight emerging insights linking selenium to ovarian function, uterine receptivity, embryonic survival, spermatogenesis, and peripartum health. Particular attention is given to selenium-mediated modulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling pathways, and endocrine regulation. The review is based on a structured literature search of PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and other reputable databases. We focus on studies addressing selenium and cow reproduction, selenium sources, dairy cattle, and selenoproteins. Key knowledge gaps and future research priorities are highlighted to guide precision selenium nutrition in modern cattle systems.
