1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is to describe the molecular detection of Haemoproteus columbae Kruse, 1890 (Haemospororida: Haemoproteidae) in Columba livia Gmelin, 1789 (Columbiformes: Columbidae) in southern Brazil, and to determine the prevalence of the haemosporidian by analyzing the infection in relation to birds' age, sex, and place of origin. Blood samples were collected from 57 birds captured in the municipalities of ​​Pelotas and Rio Grande, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, between May and November 2022. Microscopic examination and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (CytB) revealed that the prevalence of the haemosporidian was 92.98% (53/57). In the sequencing analysis, the samples showed 98.87-99.08% similarity to the species H. columbae and a new lineage was recorded. No differences in infection rates were observed in relation to age, sex, or place of origin of the birds.
