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

importanceProtozoan blood parasites, including OBSERVATIONS: This review synthesized and critically evaluated field, experimental, and molecular evidence of antiparasitic drug resistance in major protozoan blood parasites of livestock in the MENA region. A narrative review was conducted using major scientific databases to identify peer-reviewed studies published between January 2000 and December 2025. Eligible studies reported treatment outcomes, experimental drug sensitivity, or molecular resistance markers in CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: A clear mismatch exists between widespread field observations and limited molecular confirmation. Strengthened surveillance, standardized efficacy trials, rational drug use, and integrated parasite-control strategies are urgently needed in the MENA region.
