Rabies virus, Bartonella koehlerae and Leishmania infantum coinfection in a black Myotis (Myotis nigricans) from southeastern Brazil.

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
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of important zoonotic agents in Brazil in urban bats and to evaluate the existence of coinfections in bats diagnosed with rabies. In 2021, organ samples from 52 bats from urban areas in southeastern Brazil were used to diagnose rabies and other zoonoses occurring in the region. The positive samples were sequenced, characterized and included in GenBank. A co-infection involving the rabies virus, Bartonella koehlerae, and Leishmania infantum was identified in a Black Myotis bat collected from a household in São Manuel, a city endemic for visceral leishmaniasis. Phylogenetic analysis showed similarity between the RABV sequence obtained and reference sequences from humans and wild canids, as well as confirming the identity of the Bartonella and Leishmania species detected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a bat co-infected with rabies virus, B. koehlerae, and L. infantum. The co-infection of three important pathogens in a Black Myotis highlights the multifaceted role of neotropical bats as reservoirs of zoonotic agents. This unprecedented finding reinforces the potential of these animals to contribute to the transmission dynamics of viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens, and the importance of molecular surveillance in bats.
