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

Heat stress, particularly during the prepartum period, compromises dairy cow health and has lasting effects on offspring. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal yeast culture (YC) supplementation during heat stress on the intestinal health of newborn calves, with a specific focus on elucidating the associated changes in jejunal morphology, microbial community, and metabolic profiles. Cows receiving YC had lower rectal temperatures, confirming mitigated heat stress. Their calves showed enhanced immune status (higher IgA, IgG) and reduced oxidative stress and metabolic markers. Jejunal structure and barrier integrity were improved. While microbial diversity was similar, specific bacterial abundances differed (e.g.,
