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

Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a worldwide infection of Equides caused mainly by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. Recently, these agents have been found in horses in the Republic of Altai. To identify probable vectors for EP agents in Western Siberia, 443 adult questing Dermacentor spp. (199 D. silvarum, 236 D. nuttalli, and 8 D. marginatus) were collected from vegetation in four districts of the Republic of Altai and examined for the presence of Piroplasmida DNA. Three Piroplasmida species were identified. Babesia caballi was found in ten (2.3%) Dermacentor spp., including eight D. silvarum and two D. nuttalli, indicating that these species are probable vectors of B. caballi in Siberia. The determined 18 S rRNA gene sequences of B. caballi from ticks were identical to those previously found in equine blood from the same region, which demonstrated their involvement in common transmission cycles. Another agent of EP, T. equi, was found in only one D. silvarum, indicating that in studied region Dermacentor spp. hardly can efficiently transmit T. equi transstadially. In addition to EP pathogents, the agent of bovine mild piroplasmosis, Babesia occultans, was identified in one D. marginatus; this is the first detection of this agent in Russia.
