Heartworm on the rise-new insights into Dirofilaria immitis epidemiology.
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Until recently Dirofilaria immitis, the causative agent of serious canine heartworm disease, has been detected relatively infrequently in Central Europe in comparison with the predominant D. repens species. In the present study, the elevated number of heartworm cases among dogs from a breeding establishment in south-western Slovakia is described. Out of 25 dogs examined, dirofilariasis was detected by single or several diagnostic approaches in 18 animals, which represents a mean prevalence of 72.0%. D. immitis was confirmed in 16 (64.0%) of the infected dogs and D. repens in 8 dogs (32.0%). All cases of D. immitis infection were detected in areas regarded as D. repens-endemic to date. Following the presented results and discussed circumstances, the question of whether the real prevalence of canine heartworm disease in Slovakia, or even in Central Europe as a whole, has been underestimated, or if D. immitis is currently becoming endemic in this area.
