1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Q fever is a major zoonotic disease in the world. The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii in animal milk in Iran. We systematically reviewed the literature to identify eligible studies from January 2008 to June 2016 in English or Farsi (Persian) databases. We extracted the molecular prevalence of C. burnetii in milk from cows, goats, sheep, and camels in Iran. The total prevalence of C. burnetii in cow milk was 15.09% (95% CI 11.08-19.10) by PCR methods. The highest and lowest prevalence of Q fever agent were seen in the East Azerbaijan (25.55%) and Khorasan-Razavi (4.22%) provinces, respectively. The molecular prevalence of C. burnetii in goat milk was 7.80% (95% CI 3.54-12.07%). The provinces of Qom (0%) and Lorestan (44.71%) had the lowest and the highest frequency of C. burnetii infection in goat's milk, respectively. Total prevalence of C. burnetii in sheep milk was 3.79% (95% CI 0.72-6.87%). The highest frequency of C. burnetii in sheep milk was detected in the Khorasan-Razavi province (34.78%). The frequency of C. burnetii in camel milk was 1.43%. High infection of C. burnetii in milk is an important health problem in Iran, amplified by the traditional preparations of dairy products.
