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: Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to recruit 2,396 cattle and 1,200 human presumptive tuberculosis (TB) cases for this study from the southern pastoral districts of Ethiopia. The single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin test (SICCTT) was used to screen for bovine TB in the cattle, while mycobacterial culture and spoligotyping were used to identify mycobacterial species and strains in the pastoralists. Results: The herd and animal prevalences of bovine TB were 14.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 10.2-19.5%] and 3.2% (95% CI: 2.5-4.0), respectively. The herd prevalence was associated with the districts ( Conclusion: In general, the prevalence of bovine TB was relatively lower than that recorded in intensive dairy farms in central Ethiopia.
