Mycoplasma haemofelis and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' in domestic cats from Pelotas, RS: molecular detection and risk factors.
Article in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Hemotropic mycoplasmas are small, pleomorphic, gram-negative, epierithrocytic bacteria that infect a wide variety of animals, including domestic cats. These microorganisms cause the disease known as feline hemotropic mycoplasmosis (MHF), also called feline infectious anemia. The objective of the study was to use PCR assays based on amplification of 16S rDNA to detect the species Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf) and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' (CMhm) in felines treated at a clinic specialized exclusively in cats in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Furthermore, the research aimed to identify potential risk factors associated with the infection. A total of 253 blood samples from domestic felines were analyzed, of which 76 samples (30%) were positive for at least one species. The most detected hemoplasma was CMhm, with 51/253 (20.1%), followed by Mhf, with 23/253 (9.1%). Mhf and CMhm co-infection was detected in 2/253 (0.8%) samples. Felines with access to the street, presence of ectoparasites, co-infection with FeLV, FIV and other diseases (unhealthy animals) were more likely to be infected by hemoplasmas.
