Prevalence and genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in cattle from Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a zoonotic pathogen, with cattle serving as major reservoirs and important mediums for its transmission. However, data on the prevalence and subtypes of E. bieneusi in cattle from Northern Shanxi and Central Inner Mongolia, China, are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the zoonotic risk associated with E. bieneusi in cattle from the Shanxi North and Inner Mongolia Central Connection Area. In this study, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene of E. bieniusi was assessed. Fecal samples (n = 1338) were randomly collected from 15 intensive and free-range cattle farms in Northern Shanxi and Central Inner Mongolia between 2021 and 2022. Samples were subjected to processing, nucleic acid extraction, polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, and sequence analysis to determine the prevalence and genetic characteristics of E. bieneusi. The prevalence of E. bieneusi in cattle was 34.23% (458/1338), varying from 4.29% (3/70) to 66.34% (67/101) among 15 sampling points. The prevalence rates of E. bieneusi in cattle from Shanxi and Inner Mongolia were 30.42% (261/858) and 41.04% (197/480), respectively. The prevalence in dairy and beef cattle was 35.72% (304/851) and 31.62% (154/487), respectively. Moreover, the prevalence across preweaned calves, postweaned calves, young cattle, and adult cattle was 27.81% (42/151), 53.95% (123/228), 45.60% (140/307), and 23.47% (153/652), respectively. Diarrheal and nondiarrheal cattle showed prevalence rates of 50.34% (148/294) and 29.69% (310/1044), respectively. Sequencing identified 458 ITS gene sequences, comprising 4 known genotypes (J [65.94%, 302/458], I [6.99%, 32/458], BEB4 [16.38%, 75/458], and BEB6 [1.75%, 8/458]) and 41 novel genotypes (SX1-SX18 and NMG1-NMG23: 8.95%, 41/458). All identified genotypes belonged to zoonotic Group 2, with genotype J being predominant. This study highlights variations in E. bieneusi prevalence among cattle from different taxonomic units in Northern Shanxi and Central Inner Mongolia. It confirms E. bieneusi infection in cattle from Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, marking the first report of E. bieneusi in dairy cattle from these regions. Specifically, 4 known and 41 novel E. bieneusi genotypes belonging to zoonotic Group 2 were identified, with J being the dominant genotype.
