First isolation of viable Toxoplasma gondii from a black mangabey (Lophocebus aterrimus) reveals the emergence of the Africa 1 lineage in East Asia.

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
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan whose intermediate hosts encompass nearly all warm-blooded animals, including humans and non-human primates (NHPs). In this study, molecular, serological, immunohistochemical and bioassay methods were used to investigate T. gondii infection in 17 captived NHPs in zoos from China between 2022 and 2023. The infection rate was higher in New World NHPs (83.3%) than in Old World NHPs (16.7%) (P = 0.2424). A viable strain of T. gondii was successfully isolated from the tissues of a black mangabey (Lophocebus aterrimus). The strain designated as TgMonkeyCHn3 was genotyped as ToxoDB #6, which had demonstrated virulence in Swiss Webster outbred mice. The ROP18/ROP5 allele combination was identified as 1/3. The emergence of this strain highlights the increased genetic diversity of T. gondii in East Asia and presents new challenges for the prevention of toxoplasmosis, particularly in captive NHPs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the ToxoDB genotype #6 isolated in East Asia and the black mangabey is a new host for T. gondii.
