New records of molecular detection of hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in road-killed wild mammals at Southern Brazil.

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
Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp., also known as Hemoplasmas, infect several species of domestic and wild animals, including humans. Although infections in wild animals are mostly asymptomatic and chronic, there is a risk of spreading the patogen to other susceptible animals. They can cause death in immunosuppressed mammals, and have implications for the conservation of already threatened wild mammals. The objective of this study was to report on the molecular detection of Mycoplasma spp. hemotropic. in wild mammals run over in the Southern Brazil, describing new findings of hemoplasmas in this region. Carcasses of 24 road-killed wild animals were collected on the highways of cities belonging to the Pelotas microregion, in the south of RS, Brazil, and were necropsied. Ectoparasites were removed and classified according to morphological taxonomic keys. Blood samples from all animals were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification targeting the 16S rDNA and 23S rRNA genes revealed the presence of Mycoplasma spp. DNA in blood samples from 87.5% of animals. This study reports the first molecular finding of hemotropic mycoplasma in Brazilian guinea pig (Cavia aperea) and pampas fox (Lycalopex gymnocercus). The detection of hemoplasma in different host species demonstrates the spread of the agent among wild mammals in southern Brazil.
