Detection of Aflatoxigenic Fungi in Dairy Cattle Feed: Findings From Urban Districts of Tigray, Ethiopia.

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 growing Ethiopian dairy sector faces significant challenges, including feed contamination by aflatoxigenic fungi, limiting productivity and endangering public health. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August to November 2024 to investigate the prevalence of aflatoxigenic fungi in dairy cattle feed sampled from 143 farms across Mekelle, Wukro, Adigrat, Korem and Alamata, as well as the associated risk factors in urban districts of Tigray, Ethiopia. Feed samples, including hay, straw, wheat/maize middling and commercial concentrates, were analysed for fungal contamination using UV light, ammonia vapour tests and colony counts (colony-forming units per gram [CFU/g]). The analysis revealed that 33.6% of samples contained aflatoxigenic fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus), whereas 66.4% were contaminated with non-aflatoxigenic species. Average fungal loads were 2.11 × 10
