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 a predominant pathogen that presents significant public health and animal husbandry challenges. Information on the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi in pigeons is scarce. In this study, 207 faecal samples were collected from pigeons in two parks in Zhengzhou, China, and subjected to nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) analysis for the detection of E. bieneusi. The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi was found to be 15.5% (32/207) across the two parks. ITS sequence analysis identified only the Peru6 genotype (n = 32), which phylogenetic analysis placed within the zoonotic group 1. Among the E. bieneusi isolates, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) at MS1, MS4 and MS7 loci identified 19, 13 and 23 samples, respectively. Of the samples, 11 were successfully amplified and sequenced at all three loci, resulting in nine distinct multilocus genotypes (MLGs). This suggests that pigeons may play a role in the transmission of E. bieneusi to humans and that there is high genetic variability of E. bieneusi in pigeons from Zhengzhou in China.
