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

The present study investigated the phylogenetic relationship based on cytochrome b gene sequences among pathogenic Theileria species (spp.) in Iran, including Theileria annulata and Theileria lestoquardi, along with other data available in GenBank. A total of 136 (cattle) and 80 (sheep) blood samples suspected of piroplasm infection were obtained from six different provinces of Iran. Both microscopic and molecular methods using species-specific primers were used for screening T. annulata and T. lestoquardi positive samples. Finally, the partial cytochrome b gene of 30 T. annulata and 5 T .lestoquardi were amplified, sequenced, and deposited in GenBank. The results indicated that there were 12 different genotypes among T. annulata isolates, while only one genotype was observed among T. lestoquardi isolates. T. lestoquardi infection in cattle was detected in one sample, and no T. annulata and T. lestoquardi coinfection were detected in sheep and cattle. In the phylogenetic tree, different Theileria spp. were placed in separate clades, and the reliability of depicted tree and monophyly of T. annulata and T. lestoquardi ingroups were supported by the bootstrap value of 94% which significantly indicated that these two species evolved from a common ancestor. The tree also showed that these two pathogenic spp. shared a more recent common ancestor, compared to another species of Theileria parasites. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first phylogenic analysis of pathogenic Theileria spp. in Iran based on the cytochrome b gene sequences. In addition, the first T. lestoquardi cytochrome b gene was sequenced and deposited in GenBank.
