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

Non-descriptive, indigenous chickens (NDICs) in Bangladesh are commonly reared in scavenging system. Here, we describe the prevalence and pathological impacts induced by mite infestations in NDICs. We found that 47.4 % of NDICs (185 out of 390) were infested with three species of mites namely Trombicula spp. (53.1 %), Knemidocoptes mutans (scaly leg mites/SLM, 15.1 %) and Dermanyssus gallinae (red mites of poultry/PRM, 2.8 %). Sex, age and seasons significantly (p < 0.05) influenced the prevalence of mite infestations. Trombiculid mites produced more specific lesions characterized by circumscribed disc-shaped notches with attached bright red colored mites, which were commonly found in breast, fluff and thigh. Destruction of the epidermis, proliferation of fibrous connective tissues along with massive infiltration of heterophils and lymphocytes were predominant. Thick, rough and ragged appearances with encrustation of the skin of leg were found grossly in SLM infestations. Histologically, hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, massive infiltrations of reactive cells and cross-sections of parasites were detected. PRM induced petechial hemorrhages, papules, necrosis, rupture of the feather follicles and scab formations. Hyperkeratosis and huge infiltration of mononuclear cells and granulocytes were evident. Taken together, mite infestation is a big challenge in profitable NDICs rearing in Bangladesh and warrants immediate attention for their control.
