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 presence of Cryptosporidium species in faecal samples of 32 sheep (Aries bovis), 10 goats (Capra circus), 1 blunt nose viper (Macrovipera lebetina lebetina), 3 Kotschy's geckos (Mediodactylus kotschyi) and 6 wild stellagamas (Stellagama stellio cypriaca) in Cyprus were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. Cryptosporidium species were found in 9/32 sheep, 5/10 goats, 2/3 Kotschy's geckos and 2/6 stellagamas faecal samples based on the sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. Subtyping was achieved based on the sequencing of the gp60 gene. Four different species have been identified: Cryptosporidium parvum in goats (subtype IIaA15G1R1), C. xiaoi (subtypes XXIIId and XXIIIl) and C. ubiquitum (subtype XIIa) in sheep and C. varanii and C. parvum in lizards; the viper snake sample was negative. This is the first report on the molecular identification of a variety of Cryptosporidium species from domestic ruminants and wild reptiles in the Republic of Cyprus.
