Morphological and molecular characterization of microfilariae in chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Northeastern Thailand.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by filarial nematodes. The life cycle involves vertebrates host and hematophagous arthropods. Filarial nematodes are viviparous, and their larvae (microfilaria) are produced into the blood circulation. Microfilariae are widely studied in humans and small animals, but are rarely found in domestic chickens. Aim: We aimed to study the prevalence, morphology, and molecular characteristics of microfilariae in village chickens raised in Thailand. Materials and Methods: Sixty thin blood smears were prepared for parasite detection and morphotype observation. A total of 60 genomic DNA were used for nested-PCR amplification of the cytochrome c oxidase 1 ( Results: The prevalence of microfilariae in domestic chickens raised in Northeastern Thailand was 36.66%. Three morphotypes of microfilariae were identified. Eleven out of 22 samples exhibited a single morphotype infection. Of these, only two samples were identified as single-strain infections. One sequence isolated from unsheathed microfilaria was phylogenetically grouped with other Conclusion: The prevalence of microfilariae in Thai chickens was high. This report highlighted that the sequence of the
