Detection of antibodies against Rhodococcus equi in Alpaca (Lama pacos) in Italy.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
After isolating the two virulent strains of Rhodococcus equi from Alpaca, a serological survey of Rhodococcus equi infection was carried out on 57 blood samples of Alpaca collected in Central Italy. The survey was performed with an ELISA test using a reference R. equi strain as antigen (ATCC 33701). Four (7.0%) sera (OD greater or equal to 0.3) tested positive, while five (8.77%) were considered doubtful (OD between 0.2 and 0.3). This is the first serological survey of R. equi infection in Alpaca in Italy. The results indicate that besides the horse R. equi infection could also affect some ruminant species. The ELISA test was recently introduced as a reliable diagnostic method in horses and was adapted to alpaca.
