Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cattle farmers in Maharashtra provinces of India on tick-borne diseases: insights for sustainable control strategies.

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
A KAP survey on ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs) among cattle farmers of Maharashtra state, India was conducted. A total of 137 farmers were surveyed with majority aged 41-50, having 6-20 cattle. Education-wise, most of the farmers had high school or college education. Land holding patterns showed majority of farmers have small farms. Farmers preferred high-yielding exotic breeds. Participants observed ticks on livestock, grasses, and forest areas. Ticks were reported in warm and cold regions, affecting cattle productivity. Farmers showed mixed awareness on tick-borne diseases and management practices. Majority of farmers use good material for making the floor and roof of cattle shed, while few use conventional sheds. Acaricides, medicine, and deworming drugs are procured from government livestock centres with minimal charges. Different protocols of acaricide use were followed for acaricide administration. The fallen ticks after acaricidal treatments were managed differently and manual removal and herbal remedies were preferred methods for tick removal in the event of non-availability of acaricidal drugs.Farmers demonstrated a moderate understanding of tick control, but their management practices could be improved, especially through the adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) approaches. It is recommended to enhance farmer education on tick-borne diseases and encourage more regular use of acaricides alongside improved tick control methods.Compared to other KAP surveys; this study highlighted a stronger reliance on chemicals and a notable knowledge gap regarding disease transmission.
