Typing of hemotropic Mycoplasma in Egyptian cats: first detection and phylogenetic analysis of Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (CMhm), and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (CMt) are the major feline hemotropic Mycoplasma (FHM) species identified in cats worldwide. Data concerning FHM in Egypt is limited; therefore, the current study aimed to gain further insights into disease epidemiology by investigating FHM molecular prevalence, risk factors, and hemogram abnormalities in 246 Egyptian cats (shelter-housed and client-owned) during 2022-2024. Additionally, 16 S rRNA gene-based maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis was performed for all CMt-positive samples for the first time in Egypt. FHM was detected in 16.3% (n = 40) of cats and typed as CMhm, Mhf, and CMt in 15.4% (n = 38), 3.6% (n = 9), and 2.4% (n = 6) of cats, respectively. Single CMhm and Mhf infections were detected in 12.6% (n = 31) and 0.8% (n = 2) of cats, respectively. Dual (Mhf and CMhm) and triple (Mhf, CMhm, and CMt) infections were found in 0.4% (n = 1) and 2.4% (n = 6) of cats, respectively. CMhm was significantly associated with single infections rather than coinfections compared to other FHM species. Male sex and anemia were identified as predictors of FHM PCR positivity. FHM-infected cats had significantly lower hematocrit %, RBC counts, and hemoglobin concentrations than non-infected ones. Egyptian CMt sequences showed 97.6-100% nucleotide identity with each other. Egyptian and reference CMt strains represented nine nucleotide sequence types clustered into three well-supported clades on the ML tree without clear geographic distinction. The data generated in this study, conducted in Egypt, is crucial for enhancing our understanding of disease epidemiology and implementing effective preventive measures.
