Fish as a possible reservoir for zoonotic Giardia duodenalis assemblages.
Article in Parasitology research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Giardiasis is a re-emerging infectious disease of worldwide significance caused by Giardia duodenalis. This study investigated the occurrence of zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblages in fish to explore the possible role of fish in the epidemiology of human giardiasis. For this purpose, 92 fish (Tilapia nilotica and Mugil cephalus) collected from (fish farms and Nile River) at different governorates in Egypt were examined for the presence of G. duodenalis in their feces by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, then positive fecal samples were tested by duplex PCR for identification of triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) gene specific for zoonotic assemblages A and B. The overall prevalence of G. duodenalis in the examined fish was 3.3%, while the detection rates among the examined fish species were 2.9% and 4.2% for T. nilotica and M. cephalus, respectively. G. duodenalis was detected in the feces of both farmed and wild fish whereas all isolates were genotyped as assemblage A. In conclusion, the occurrence of zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblage A in the examined fish species at two different aquatic environments underlines the possibility of fish to be an additional reservoir for zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblages that contributes in the contamination of water with this pathogen and thus the role of fish in the epidemiology of human giardiasis cannot be ruled out.
