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

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is considered the most common microsporidian species and is frequently detected in humans and various animals worldwide. However, information on E. bieneusi infection in plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) is somewhat limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the infection status and genotype characteristics of E. bieneusi in plateau pikas in China. A total of 33 fresh fecal samples were collected from plateau pikas captured on the Qinghai Plateau. By PCR assay and DNA sequencing of the ITS gene, 5 (15.2%, 5/33) isolates were diagnosed as positive. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of one known sheep-derived genotype, CHS17 (4/5), and a novel E. bieneusi genotype, CHPP1 (1/5), with maximum shared identity with the CHS17 genotype. Phylogenetically, these isolates were clustered into subgroup 1i of zoonotic group 1 with genotypes CHS17 and CHN14 from plateau ruminants, but the new CHP1 genotype formed a cluster separate from those genotypes. This is the first report of E. bieneusi in plateau pikas. The findings suggested that these animals might be potential reservoirs of zoonotic E. bieneusi, and transmission of the pathogen between plateau pikas and sheep probably occurs in the region.
