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

Aeromonads disease outbreaks are now becoming a common phenomenon in freshwater farmed fish worldwide. In Tanzania, the aquaculture field is increasingly growing save to sustain food protein demand and strengthen household income. To avoid losses that tilapia fish farmers might account, information on magnitude of infection and characteristics of the aetiological agent is vital. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of aeromonads infection in farmed tilapia and assess pond and fish health management practices. A cross sectional study was carried out between February 2017 and October 2018 and a total of 816 whole fish samples were aseptically collected from 32 ponds in Ruvuma, Mbeya, Iringa and Kilimanjaro regions. During sampling, water quality parameters were taken and questionnaires to assess the knowledge of farmers were also provided. Isolation and identification of bacteria was conducted using conventional biotyping and molecular techniques. A total of 201 (80.4%) of 250 isolates that were conventionally identified were confirmed to be aeromonads by amplification of 820 bp rpoD gene, making the overall prevalence of 24.6% (201, n = 816). Sequencing of rpoD gene and phylogenetic analysis revealed two aeromonads species,
