Molecular prevalence and genetic diversity of Toxoplasma gondii in free ranging Asil hen (Gallus gallus domesticus).
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 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
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is among the most frequently investigated and reported protozoan parasite as it infects all the warm blooded animals across the globe. Free ranging Asil hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are common component of back yad poultry in Pakistan and in this investigation we have screened their 123 blood samples for the presence of T. gondii using PCR. Blood samples along with epidemiological data were collected from five districts in Punjab. Results revealed that ITS- 1 gene of T. gondii were detected in 2/123 (1.6%) of the screened Asil hens and subsequent bidirectional Sanger sequencing followed by the BLAST analysis confirmed the presence of parasite. Partial ITS- 1 gene sequence based phylogenetic analysis orevealed that Pakistani T. gondii isolates were genetically similar and they resembled the isolates reported from birds, mammals and humans from Tunisia, Brazil, Iraq, Poland, China and Mongolia. Toxoplasma gondii infection was not associated with a particular bird sex, age, the body weight or the sample collection site (for all P > 0.05). In conclusion, Although Pakistani free ranging Asil hen had low T. gondii infection but it is recommended that use of poorly cooked meat should be avoided to restrict the zoonotic transmission of this parasite as Asil hen is the meat of choice for majority of Pakistani population.
