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
purposeBovine theileriosis, caused by Theileria annulata, presents a significant economic challenge to India's livestock industry. This study investigates the molecular epidemiology of T. annulata in bovine populations from Haryana, India, focusing on the genetic diversity of the Tams1 gene (785 bp).
methodsThe prevalence of T. annulata was evaluated in 800 blood samples using microscopy and PCR techniques, specifically targeting SSU rRNA and Tams1 genes. Genetic diversity among T. annulata isolates was analyzed through DNA sequencing and phylogenetic studies. Additionally, the impact of various risk factors on T. annulata infection was assessed.
resultsMicroscopy revealed that 29.25% (117/400) of cattle and 2.75% (11/400) of buffalo were detected positive for Theileria spp. in Giemsa-stained blood smears. The Theileria genus-specific primers amplified a 1098 bp fragment of the SSU rRNA gene in 39.5% (158/400) cattle and 6% (24/400) buffalo. The T. annulata-specific PCR targeting the partial Tams1 gene revealed a prevalence rate of 37% (148/400) in cattle and 3.5% (14/400) in buffalo. A genetic analysis of the Tams1 gene in 389 sequences, including 14 T. annulata isolates from Haryana (8 from cattle, 6 from buffaloes), revealed significant variation within Indian T. annulata parasites. Analysis of Tams1 gene sequences (389 from 16 countries) revealed 35 haplotypes globally, with four identified from the 14 isolates sequenced in this study. Nucleotide homology among 14 northern Indian isolates ranged from 89.46-100%, compared to a broader range of 78.42-100% when global sequences were included. Among 35 haplotypes, Hap_1 is the most dominant and shows geographic clustering. Globally, low genetic distance (Fst < 0.15) and high gene flow (Nm > 1) were observed among the five populations (South Asia, East Asia, West Asia, Europe, and Africa), suggesting minimal genetic differentiation among T. annulata populations. Negative values in Tajima' s D (-1.21941) and Li's F (-2.97801) tests suggest recent population expansion. Risk factors such as age, sex, and host species are significantly associated with T. annulata infection.
conclusionThis study offers comprehensive insights into T. annulata genetic diversity, population structure, and haplotype networks using the Tams1 gene.
