Effects of forest structure on the endoparasitism in roe deer Capreolus capreolus.
Article in Parasite (Paris, France), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Parasitic infection by endoparasites is heterogeneous within a population. Such heterogeneity in parasitic status among individuals depends in particular on differences in their susceptibility to infection and in the habitats and resources used by the individuals. While several studies have aimed to identify individual factors and, mostly at large spatial scales, environmental factors that influence endoparasitism in wild populations, we aim in this study to investigate the influence of habitat quality (vegetation type, resource availability) on parasite burden within a population of roe deer living in a heterogeneous forest. We collected 1,469 fecal samples to measure the parasite burden on 952 roe deer captured between 1996 and 2020 in Chizé (France), a study site stratified into two contrasting sectors in terms of vegetation structure and resource quality. We quantified the effect of the sector on parasitism after considering the possible influences of age, sex, body mass and Julian date. The prevalence of parasitism was higher in individuals living in the poorer sector, but the intensity of the parasite burden was not influenced by the sector. These results suggest that within a host population, parasite infection risk would not be the same everywhere, probably due to differences in resource availability, vegetation species and density of host, showing the need to study parasitism at fine scales.
