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

Background: Botulism is a neurological disease caused by the ingestion of the toxin produced by Case Description: During the seasonal period, approximately 30-60 dead or sick animals were found in an urban park in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, between late 2020 and 2021. However, only four wild ducks ( Conclusion: The presence of botulism in urban areas, especially in leisure areas, raises public health concerns. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of type C botulism in a public urban park in São Paulo, Brazil. Although this toxin does not pose a direct risk to human health, it is a strong indicator of environmental health, affecting wild free-ranging birds.
