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

Piroplasmosis is an important tick-borne disease in several regions, and can lead to significant economic animal production losses. The current study aimed to systematically examine the incidence of bovine piroplasmosis in Kashgar, Xinjiang, to provide baseline data for the effective prevention and control of this disease among bovines in the region. A total of 1403 bovine blood samples from 12 sampling points were screened via PCR with universal Piroplasma primers targeting the 18S rRNA locus and specific Theileria annulata primers targeting the cytochrome b (COB) gene. The overall prevalence of bovine Piroplasma was 65.9% (925/1403). Three species of pathogenic Theileria, including T. annulata, T. orientalis, and T. sinensis, were detected, and the infection rates for these species were 65.1% (913/1403), 0.5% (7/1403), and 0.1% (1/1403), respectively. The mixed infection rate for T. orientalis and T. annulata was 0.3% (4/1403). No Babesia was detected in this study. In conclusion, bovine piroplasmosis was still common in Kashgar and T. annulata was the dominant species, and a mixed infection of T. annulata and T. orientalis was detected. Notably, T. sinensis was reported for the first time in this region. Therefore, strategies for the prevention and control of bovine piroplasmosis should be enhanced.
