Prevalence and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in 1-2-month-old highland yaks in Qinghai Province, China.

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
Cryptosporidium and Giardia are ubiquitous parasites that infect humans and animals. Few reports are available on the prevalence of these two protozoan parasites in yaks (Bos grunniens). In this study, 344 faecal samples were collected from yaks with diarrhoea in the Chenduo and Nangqian counties of Qinghai Province, China. Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis were detected by light and immunofluorescence microscopy and nested PCR (nPCR). Fifteen samples were positive (4.5%) by Kinyoun staining, 40 (11.6%) samples were positive by immunofluorescence test (IFT), and 39 (11.3%) samples were positive by nPCR for Cryptosporidium spp., Cryptosporidium bovis (11/39, 28.2%) was the most prevalent species, followed by C. ryanae (6/39, 15.4%), C. andersoni (5/39, 12.8%), C. struthionis (5/39, 12.8%), C. parvum (5/39, 12.8%), C. hominis (4/39, 10.3%) and C. canis (3/39, 7.7%). Thirteen out of 344 (3.8%) samples were positive for Giardia by simple microscopy, 20 (5.8%) by IFT and 18 samples (5.2%) yak faecal samples were Giardia positive by nPCR. Two G. duodenalis assemblages (B, E) were detected in this study. Nine positive samples for G. duodenalis assemblage E were from the towns of Xiewu (8/9, 4.9%) and Xiangda (1/9, 1.3%), and nine positive samples (9/9, 8.5%) for G. duodenalis assemblage B were from the town of Zhenqin. This report provides information about infection with Cryptosporidium species and G. duodenalis assemblages in domesticated 1-2-month-old highland yaks living in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region of China.
