Retrospective Analysis of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Frequency in Domestic Cats in Quito, Ecuador (2021-2024).

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
Feline leukemia (FeLV) is a viral disease that primarily affects domestic cats (Felis catus), with high mortality rates because it mainly targets the immune system and is also associated with lymphomas. The objective of this study is to retrospectively analyze the prevalence of FeLV in cats treated at veterinary centers in the city of Quito, between September 2021 and December 2024. Data were obtained from diagnostic test results conducted at the Laboratory of Biology and Molecular Genetics (LABIGEN) using RT-qPCR. A total of 850 samples met the inclusion criteria. FeLV was detected in 28.59% (243/850) of samples, with a slightly higher prevalence in males (53.50%) than females (46.50%). Regarding age, 54.32% (132/243) were between 1 and 5 years, 22.22% (54/243) were between 1 and 11 months, 18.52% (45/243) were between 5 and 10 years, and 4.94% (12/243) were between 10 and 19 years. In conclusion, the prevalence of FeLV in Quito, Ecuador, is high, requiring greater efforts to prevent and control this disease, in pursuit of animal health and well-being.
