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

Introduction: The zoonotic transmission of tuberculosis (TB) from cattle to humans has long been recognized, while the reverse transmission from humans to animals has only recently been reported. The socioeconomic conditions in rural Ethiopia are conducive to the zoonotic and reverse zoonotic transmission of TB between cattle and humans. This study aimed to explore the transmission of the Methods: To achieve this objective, a cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1,896 cattle slaughtered at two abattoirs and 392 human subjects suspected of tuberculosis who visited health institutions for treatment. Mycobacteriological culture and spoligotyping were used for the study. Additionally, the Spoligotype International Types and VNTR (variable number of DNA tandem repeats) International Types (SITVIT2) database and the online tool "Run TB-Lineage" were used to identify SIT and lineages of the isolates from both humans and cattle. Results: Culture positivity was found in 26.3% (21/80) of the gross TB-suspicious tissue lesions in the lungs and lymph nodes (mandibular, retropharyngeal, cranial, and caudal mediastinal, as well as left and right bronchial, hepatic, and mesenteric lymph nodes) of cattle. Of the 21 cattle isolates, 12 (57.2%) were identified as Conclusion: The zoonotic and reverse zoonotic transmissions of TB were confirmed in Ethiopia by isolating two
