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

backgroundStrongyloides nematodes are livestock parasites, and Strongyloides papillosus infecting ruminant livestock can cause disease. Recent genomic analysis of several Strongyloides species is now facilitating population genomic analyses of natural Strongyloides infections, for example finding that Strongyloides ratti in wild UK rats exists as an assemblage of long-lived, asexual lineages.

methodsHere we have initiated an investigation into the population genomics of S. papillosus in goats in Pakistan. We sampled Strongyloides from goat faeces and then whole genome sequenced individual larvae.

resultsWe find that S. papillosus is common, with a prevalence of 28%; that the population is genetically diverse and that individual goats commonly have mixed-genotype infections, and that there is evidence of admixture in only ca. 20% of worms.

conclusionsThese results now provoke further questions about the host range of different S. papillosus genotypes that can be investigated by further population genomic analyses in the future.
