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
It is not uncommon for pigeons kept for entertainment or competition to be infected with a variety of intestinal parasites, including nematodes and cestodes. Infection by these worms is a risk not only to birds but also to native wildlife and humans. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of helminth infections in pigeons in Zabol County, Iran, and to develop strategies for the prevention and treatment of these infections. A total of 220 pigeons were examined for the presence of parasites in their gastrointestinal tracts between 2021 and 2022. The pigeons were categorized according to gender, breed, age, medication, and feed type. The digestive tract contents were scraped and washed with warm water in order to collect intestinal helminths. A variety of techniques employed for the isolation, observation, and identification of nematodes and cestodes. Additionally,the parasites around the esophageal tissue were also examined in this study. A total of 96 positive cases of helminth infection (43.63%) were identified in the 220 samples of pigeon gastrointestinal tracts examined. In addition, 52 pigeons exhibited exclusive cestode infections, 14 had nematode infections, and 31 had co-infections.
