1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Cryptosporidiosis is caused by species of Cryptosporidium protozoa that can infect a wide range of host animals worldwide. However, data regarding Cryptosporidium infection in farmed pigs in subtropical areas in China is limited. Therefore, a total of 396 fecal samples were obtained from farmed pigs from Zhejiang (n = 124), Guangdong (n = 72), and Yunnan (n = 200) provinces, China, and were tested by PCR amplification of the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene. The overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium in pigs was 17.68% (70/396), with 20.11% (36/179) in male pigs and 15.67% (34/217) in female pigs. Additionally, Cryptosporidium prevalence was 8.33% (6/72) in Guangdong province, 14.52% (18/124) in Zhejiang province, and 23.00% (46/200) in Yunnan province. A DNA sequence analysis of the SSU rRNA gene revealed that all of the isolates represented C. scrofarum. This is the first report of C. scrofarum infection in pigs in Guangdong and Yunnan provinces in subtropical areas of China. The results of the present study provide foundation data for control and prevention of Cryptosporidium infection in pigs in the study areas in China.
