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
backgroundGiardia duodenalis is an important protozoan parasite. It is an established zoonotic pathogen and dairy calves have been implicated as one of the most important sources of human infection. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence and multilocus genotyping of G. duodenalis in dairy calves in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, northwestern China.
findingsA total of 514 fresh fecal samples were randomly collected from dairy calves in 15 farms in Xinjiang, 13.4 % (69/514) tested positive for G. duodenalis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene, with the prevalence being 9.7 % (23/237) and 16.6 % (46/277) in pre- and post-weaned calves, respectively. Sequence analysis of the SSU rRNA gene predominantly detected G. duodenalis assemblage E (92.8 %, 64/69), whereas assemblage A was identified in five samples (7.2 %, 5/69). All G. duodenalis-positive samples were assayed with PCR followed by sequencing at β-giardin (bg), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) and triosephosphate isomerase (tpi) genes, and 29, 37 and 33 sequences were obtained, respectively. The presence of mixed G. duodenalis assemblage A and E was detected in only one sample. Multilocus genotyping yielded 15 multilocus genotypes (MLGs), one new assemblage A MLG, and 14 assemblage E MLGs. All assemblage E MLGs identified here differed genetically from those of cattle from Henan Province, Central China.
conclusionsOur data indicate that G. duodenalis is a common parasite in dairy calves in Xinjiang, China, and calves appear to be a reservoir of G. duodenalis that is infectious to humans. The differences in the distribution of G. duodenalis assemblage E MLGs from cattle were likely to be because of geographical segregation.
