Imported non-endemic, arthropod-borne and parasitic infectious diseases in Austrian dogs.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsAn increasing number of imported non-endemic arthropod-borne diseases and other rare parasitic diseases in dogs in Austria were the basics for this report. Number and species of imported pathogens as well as the origin of the carrying dogs were of special interest.
methodsSymptomatic dogs that have been in a foreign country before were included to the study. 174 dogs, presented at the Veterinary University of Vienna, were analysed for their origin or stay in a foreign country (n = 26) and type of infection. The age and breed distribution was recorded. Dogs were tested for leishmaniosis, ehrlichiosis, filariosis and infection by Rickettsia conorii.
resultsOverall infection rate was 47% in the tested dogs. Mixed infections were diagnosed in 10% of dogs included. Infestation by Cordylobia anthropophaga and Pentastomida was documented.
conclusionsThe introduction of non-endemic pathogens, and sometimes their vectors, by dogs is documented in Austrian dogs. Direct transmission from dogs to humans is very unlikely and most of the vectors (Phlebotomus spp.) are not native in Austria. A future risk may arise from an increasing number of imported dogs, carrying these vectors that may be host to various pathogens, to areas still free of those pathogens. A further problem is the probability, that these vectors may become native when climate conditions are going to be favourable to them.
