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

Anthelmintic resistance is reported in equine nematodes with increasing frequency in recent years, and no new anthelmintic classes have been introduced during the past 40 years. This manuscript reviews published literature describing anthelmintic resistance in cyathostomins, Parascaris spp., and Oxyuris equi with special emphasis on larvicidal efficacy against encysted cyathostomin larvae and strongylid egg reappearance periods (ERP). Resistance to benzimidazoles and pyrimidines is highly prevalent in cyathostomin populations around the world, and macrocyclic lactone resistance has been documented in cyathostomins in recent years as well. Two recent studies have documented resistance to the larvicidal regimen of fenbendazole, whereas the larvicidal efficacy of moxidectin is variable, but with no evidence of a reduction from historic levels. In the 1990s, ERP estimates were 8-10 and 12-16 weeks for ivermectin and moxidectin, respectively, while several studies published after year 2000 found ERPs to be 5 weeks for both compounds. This is a clear change in anthelmintic performance, but it remains unclear if this is due to development of anthelmintic resistance or selection for other biological traits leading to a quicker resumption of strongylid egg shedding following anthelmintic treatment. Macrocyclic lactone resistance is common in Parascaris spp. around the world, but recent reports suggests that resistance to the two other classes should be monitored as well. Finally, O. equi has been reported resistant to ivermectin and moxidectin in countries representing four continents. In conclusion, multi-drug resistance is becoming the norm in managed cyathostomin populations around the world, and a similar pattern may be emerging in Parascaris spp. More work is required to understand the mechanisms behind the shortened ERPs, and researchers and veterinarians around the world are encouraged to routinely monitor anthelmintic efficacy against equine nematodes.
