Frequency and Sequence Analysis of Echinococcus granulosus Sensu Lato Isolated From Buffaloes in Northern Iran.

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
backgroundEchinococcus granulosus sensu lato is one of the most important zoonotic parasites in many regions of the world. Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a major economic and public health challenge in Iran.
objectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and genotypes of Echinococcus granulosus isolates from slaughtered buffaloes in Guilan Province, northern Iran.
methodsWe examined 384 buffaloes at the Talesh county abattoir, isolating 42 hydatid cysts. We sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1) genes for genotype analysis. Molecular phylogeny and haplotype network analysis was performed for the isolates.
resultsOur results showed that 10.9% of the buffaloes were infected with hydatid cysts, with 90.5% of infections in the liver and 9.5% in the lungs. Only one liver cyst was fertile; the rest were non-fertile. Amongst the infected animals, 21.4% (9/42) were male, and 78.6% (33/42) were female. No significant gender-related difference in infection rates was observed (p = 0.057); however, a significant relationship was found between age groups and infection (p = 0.030). Sequence analysis identified all isolates as belonging to the G1 genotype of E. granulosus, with five haplotypes being identified.
conclusionThe study highlights the high prevalence of hydatid cysts in buffaloes, though fertility was low, suggesting a minor role for buffaloes in CE epidemiology in this region. Similar to other studies, our research shows that infection rates increase significantly with age.
