First Seroprevalence Study of Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Infections Among Cats in Algiers (Algeria) and Associated Risk Factors.

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
Feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus infections are two widespread diseases that affect the health of domestic cats all over the world. In Algeria, despite the existence of a large population of cats, there are no published data regarding the epidemiological status of feline retroviruses. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to estimate the seroprevalence of FIV and FeLV infections in cats in Algiers and to assess the main factors associated with the infection. A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 71 cats were sampled from several private veterinary clinics, and their obtained sera were tested using an immunochromatography analysis (SNAP Duo FIV/FeLV Test; Virbac Laboratories, France). The seroprevalence was about 32.39% and 22.53% for FIV and FeLV, respectively. Overall, 11.26% were positive for both infections. The present study showed that FIV seropositivity was associated with a younger age and health status (
