Outcome of parasitological examinations in cats in Germany: a retrospective survey.
Article in Parasitology research, 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
This retrospective study examined the occurrence of endoparasites in feline faecal samples in a German diagnostic laboratory between January 2019 and December 2019. Different methods for endoparasite detection were performed: 6,425 samples by flotation method as well as sodium acetate-acetic acid-formalin concentration (SAFC) technique, 721 samples by Baermann-Wetzel migration technique, 3,233 samples by a Giardia coproantigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 346 samples by a Cryptosporidium coproantigen ELISA, 1,007 samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for Giardia duodenalis, and 672 samples by PCR testing for Cryptosporidium spp. A total of 8.5% of the samples were positive for parasites in the microscopic examination using the flotation method and SAFC technique in combination: Toxocara cati (3.8%), Cystoisospora spp. (2.3%), Giardia duodenalis (1.9%), Ancylostomatidae (0.3%), lungworm larvae (0.3%), Toxoplasma gondii/Hammondia hammondi (0.2%), Taeniidae (0.2%), Capillaria spp. (0.2%), Toxascaris leonina (0.08%), Sarcocystis spp. (0.06%) and Dipylidium caninum (0.02%). The detection rate of lungworm larvae by the Baermann-Wetzel migration technique was 4.7%. Giardia duodenalis was detected by ELISA in 8.1% of the samples and by PCR in 7.9%. Detection rates for Cryptosporidium spp. were 1.7% by ELISA and 2.5% by PCR. Cats in the first year of life were more frequently infected with parasites than older animals.
