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

Leptospirosis, a global zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp., poses significant health risks to both animals and humans. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of antibodies against Leptospira interrogans serovars in stabled horses in Qazvin province, Northwest Iran. From January 2023 to April 2024, a total of 83 blood samples were collected from asymptomatic horses using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Results indicated a seroprevalence of 40.96% (95% CI: 31-52), with notable variations among regions: 38.89% (95% CI: 27-52) in Qazvin, 38.46% (95% CI: 18-64) in Alborz and 50% (95% CI: 28-72) in Takestan. The Hardjo serovar was most prevalent (21.68%, 95% CI: 14-32), followed by Icterohaemorrhagiae (13.25%, 95% CI: 7-22) and Canicola (7.22%, 95% CI: 3-15). Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between seropositivity and factors such as the presence of domestic animals and housing conditions. Notably, adult horses exhibited higher seropositivity compared to younger ones. This study highlights the potential role of horses as reservoirs for Leptospira, particularly the Hardjo serovar, suggesting a zoonotic risk to humans and underscoring the need for effective surveillance and control measures in equine populations.
