Epidemiology of Q-fever in goats in Hubei province of China.
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, 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
Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) is an intracellular bacterium, which causes zoonotic disease called Q-fever. However, scarce information is known about the epidemiology of Q-fever in goats in Hubei province of China. A total of 1157 blood samples were collected from the study area and these were tested for antibodies against C. burnetii by employing a commercial competitive ELISA. The results showed that the overall positive rate of C. burnetii was 4.75% (95% CI: 3.6, 6.1) and in different counties it ranged from 1.05 to 11.84% in goats. Antibodies positive against C. burnetii were detected in 24 (4.68%; 95% CI: 3.0, 6.9) out of 513 male goats and 31 (4.81; 95% CI: 3.3, 6.8) out of 644 female goats. In different seasons, the seroprevalence of C. burnetii infection in goats was 6.81% (95% CI: 3.9, 10.8) in spring, 5.46% (95% CI: 3.4, 8.3) in summer, 4.73% (95% CI: 2.1, 9.1) in autumn, and 2.84% (95% CI: 1.4, 5.0) in winter. The present survey reveals that C. burnetii is prevalent in goats in Hubei province. Considering the numerous economic losses and potential risk to public health due to Q-fever, it is important that control measures should be adopted to prevent the transmission of this intracellular bacterium in animals and humans in Hubei province.
