Sero-prevalence and associated risk factors of Brucellosis among Malaria negative febrile out-patients in Wakiso district, Central Uganda.
Article in BMC research notes, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease usually acquired through direct contact with the infected animals and consumption of contaminated milk and meat products. In humans Brucellosis presents similar signs with other febrile diseases like Malaria, typhoid and other febrile conditions. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Brucella abortus among patients with fever but were negative for Malaria.
resultsA cross-sectional study was carried out in Namayumba Health Centre IV, Wakiso district involving 200 participants. Blood samples was screened for B. abortus using Serum Agglutination Test and confirmed with Tube Agglutination test. A questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics and human Brucellosis related risk factors. Human B. abortus sero-prevalence was at 7.5% (n = 200). The prevalence was high among participants aged 18-35 years (13.3%), muslims 12 (14.0%), those with no formal education (33.3%) and divorced 2 (14.3%). Consuming of raw milk (OR 2.162, 95% CI 0.021-1.379) and being a Muslim (OR 6.101, 95% CI 1.601-23.248) were associated with increased risk of Brucella abortus. It was concluded that human Brucella infection due to Brucella abortus is commonly associated with consumers of raw milk products and muslims in Wakiso district.
