Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato in grey wolves (Canis lupus) population in Slovakia - epidemiology and genetic analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
European wolf populations have expanded their distribution ranges in recent decades and their spatial behaviour may contribute to the spread of Echinococcus spp. across Europe. In this study, the occurrence of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato was monitored in the faecal samples from grey wolves from areas covering the substantial part of their range in Slovakia. Samples were collected from several geographical areas, including Poloniny National Park in the easternmost part of the country, as well as Muráň Plateau National Park, the Vepor Mountains and the Poľana Protected Landscape Area in central Slovakia. The overall occurrence of the parasite in 112 samples collected between 2014 and 2017 was 5.4%. Echinococcus canadensis (genotype G7), the main causative agent of human cystic echinococcosis in Central Europe, was confirmed in all six positive faeces through sequence analysis of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. Geographically, five positive samples were derived from the Vepor Mountains and one from the Poľana Protected Landscape Area. The occurrence of E. canadensis G7, the primary cause of human cystic echinococcosis in Central Europe, in wolves in Slovakia indicates its presence in a sylvatic cycle, which may contribute to sustaining its circulation within the country.
