Prevalence, Intensity and Associated Factors of Cysticercus tenuicollis in Small Ruminants in the Northwest Region of Cameroon.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCysticercus tenuicollis infection, which can cause production and economic losses in livestock, is neglected in most African countries, including Cameroon.
objectiveTo determine the prevalence, intensity and associated factors of C. tenuicollis in small ruminants in the Northwest region, Cameroon. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 1106 small ruminants (493 sheep; 613 goats) originating from divisions of the study region and destined for slaughter in Bamenda municipality were examined. Following slaughter, intensive meat inspections were performed to detect C. tenuicollis cysts based on standard procedures.
resultsOverall, the prevalence of C. tenuicollis was 34.36% (31.62%-37.21%), and no difference (χ
conclusionThe study showed high prevalence and widespread distribution of C. tenuicollis infection in small ruminants and suggested that cysticercosis in small ruminants and its associated socio-economic implications for livestock production are neglected in Northwest Cameroon. Concerted veterinary-livestock farmer efforts, monitoring of infected small ruminant populations and regular parasite control in dogs in contact with small ruminants and prevention of contamination of pastures with T. hydatigena eggs by barring access of potential definitive hosts are essential for the control of the disease.
