Risk factors for endoparasitism in dogs: retrospective case-control study of 6578 veterinary teaching hospital cases.
Article in The Journal of small animal practice, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe diagnostic utility of routine faecal examinations can be greatly enhanced through an appreciation of risk factors most commonly associated with endoparasitism.
methodsFrom a sample of 6578 canine patients presenting to a veterinary teaching hospital between 1996 and 2006, this study used univariate and multi-variable techniques to examine putative signalment, medical history and demographic factors predisposing dogs to intestinal parasites.
resultsAge and median household income were the strongest predictors of endoparasitism. The odds of a patient being diagnosed with endoparasites were 0.82 times smaller for every 1 year increase in age (OR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.80 to 0.84) and for every $10,000 increase in median household income, the odds were 0.86 times lower (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.83 to 0.89). The variables gender, neuter status, month of diagnosis, admitting clinical service and primary diagnosis were not significant predictors. Animals that were presented for underlying medical conditions were less likely to have parasites and the presence of diarrhoea was associated with 76% lower odds of endoparasitism compared to healthy animals (OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.90). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for parasites in younger patients that live in high population density and low income neighbourhoods.
