Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in chickens (
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) pose a significant global challenge to the poultry industry, affecting health, welfare, and production performance. Few studies have been conducted in Gabon on the prevalence of these infections in chickens. Aim: This cross-sectional survey aims to assess the presence and diversity of GIP among chickens in the M'passa department. Methods: Between April and October 2022, we randomly collected 402 fecal samples from local and exotic chicken breeds from four semi-intensive poultry farms and 11 free-range chicken sites in the M'passa department, southeast Gabon. These samples were analyzed for GIP using flotation and sedimentation methods. Results: This study found 14 GIP eggs and oocytes in 72.9% (293/402) of examined chickens. Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of GIP in Gabon chickens, potentially harming their health and productivity. We recommend implementing effective control measures against these infections to enhance the health and productivity of chickens in the region.
