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

backgroundEchinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic disease that is widespread worldwide.

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of E. granulosus isolates in sheep. Partial mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences were used to determine intraspecific variation.

methodsFor this purpose, 41 sheep hydatid cyst isolates were collected from slaughterhouses in Elazig and Bingol provinces of Türkiye. Following genomic DNA isolation from the germinal membrane of the cysts, PCR amplification and subsequent DNA sequence analysis were performed using primers that amplify mitochondrial CO1, Nad5, and nuclear ef1α gene regions.

resultsDNA sequence analyses of mt-CO1 (1603 bp) and mt-Nad5 (625 bp) gene regions showed that 39 out of 41 isolates were identified as G1 and two isolates as G3. When the phylogenies formed by the sequences belonging to different gene regions were evaluated; in the phylogenetic tree created with the mt-CO1 and Nad5 gene dataset, G1 and G3 isolates were in separate clades with the reference sequences, while in the phylogenetic tree created with the nuclear gene region ef1α dataset, the isolate belonging to the G3 genotype (ef1a.01) formed a sister clade with the G1 genotypes and the reference sequence. According to the haplotype network results obtained, 14 haplotypes, 15 haplotypes, and two haplotypes were determined for mt-CO1, mt-Nad5, and ef1α gene regions, respectively. Haplotype analysis of mt-CO1 and mt-Nad5 gene regions revealed high haplotype and low nucleotide diversity. Low nucleotide diversity was detected, and two haplotypes were determined as a result of haplotype analysis ef1α (1343 bp) gene.
