Seasonal distribution and environmental parameters associated with Brugia pahangi and Dirofilaria immitis in naturally infected dogs in Bangkok and vicinity, Thailand.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Dirofilaria immitis and Brugia pahangi are vector-borne parasites found in dogs and cats, including Thailand. In order to evaluate the effects of season and environmental parameters on the prevalence of these parasites, this retrospective study was conducted in 2019. A total of 79,506 canine blood samples were examined. B. pahangi was found in 0.55% of samples (438/79,506; 95% CI 0.50-0.61) while D. immitis was detected in 0.43% (345/79,506; 95% CI 0.39-0.48). One-way ANOVA found no effect of seasonal conditions on prevalence. For B. pahangi, the parameters rainfall, relative humidity and sunshine hours showed associations with p ≤ 0.20 and were included in multiple logistic regressions resulting in adjusted odds ratios of 0.53, 1.31 and 0.55, respectively. For D. immitis, only average temperature showed p ≤ 0.20, resulting in an odds ratio of 0.42. In conclusion, Thailand has environmental parameters that do not change very much during the year, so they might not affect the prevalence of two filarial nematodes. However, the threat of B. pahangi and D. immitis should not be ignored, especially in subtropical regions where their vectors are abundant. Both owners and veterinarians should be concerned about filarial prevention and control of D. immitis and B. pahangi.
