A preliminary study on helminths detected in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Bingol Province of Türkiye: morphological and molecular approaches.

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
backgroundRed foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are hosts to a large number of endoparasites, some of which are zoonotic. This study was carried out to identify and molecularly characterise intestinal helminths in foxes in Bingol province, eastern Türkiye. For this purpose, carcasses of 15 red foxes that died as a result of traffic accidents in Bingol province were obtained. Parasite material obtained from the intestines was identified according to its morphological characteristics, and complete gDNA was isolated from each individual parasite samples. A 446 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) gene was amplified using PCR. Subsequently, a unidirectional sequence analysis was conducted.
resultsThe mt-CO1 gene region of a total of 8 helminth species was successfully sequenced and identified by BLAST searches. One trematode (Alaria alata), five cestodes (Dipylidium caninum, Joyeuxiella sp., Taenia hydatigena, Mesocestoides litteratus, Mesocestoides sp.), one nematode (Toxascaris leonina) and one acanthocephalan (Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus) species were identified. Phylogenetic and haplotype analyses were performed on the obtained Mesocestoides spp. sequences. Haplotype analysis of Mesocestoides litteratus isolates revealed 22 haplotypes Mesocestoides.
conclusionThese findings are important to draw attention to the wild circulation of some zoonotic helminths.
