Detection of bovine carriers of Leptospira by serological, bacteriological, and molecular tools.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bovine leptospirosis is an important infectious disease that causes reproductive problems and economic risks, particularly in the tropics. The present study aimed to determine the extent of Leptospira infection among bovines on a slaughterhouse from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil via serological, bacteriological, and molecular tests. Two hundred eight bovines were examined in total, and we obtained 208 blood samples for serology, 198 urine samples collected via direct bladder puncture for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture, 208 kidney samples (one from each animal) for PCR and culture, and 92 vaginal fluid samples from sterile swabs for PCR and culture. Serology demonstrated that 77/208 (37%) of the animals presented anti-Leptospira antibodies. Serogroup Sejroe was by far the most common. One hundrd thirty-three animals (63.9%) were PCR positive in at least one of the tested samples and were considered as Leptospira carriers. Furthermore, ten isolates were obtained by pure culture, all of them from urine samples. Bovine leptospirosis is widely prevalent, and the occurrence of renal carriers was unexpectedly much higher than generally reported.
