Seroprevalence study of paratuberculosis: Johne's disease, a neglected infection in dairy herds in Apulia (southern Italy).

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
Introduction: Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease caused by Objectives: The objectives were to determine the apparent (AP) and true (TP) prevalences of MAP infection, at the inter-herd (between-herd, BH) and intra-herd (within-herd, WH) levels, and the odds ratio (OR) to assess the probability of both cattle and herds testing positive in the provinces of Apulia, in southern Italy. Methods: A total of 6056 serum samples collected from 341 different dairy farms were analysed by ELISA. The number of farms and cattle required, BH and WH prevalence estimates, ORs, 95% confidence interval values (CIs) and Results: A low overall TP was estimated at both the BH level (17.14%) and WH level (0.82%). Statistically significant differences in OR ( Conclusions: Our results provide the first data on the prevalence of PTB in Apulian dairy herds, according to the following criteria: (i) use of a multi-step sample size calculation procedure considering the test's imperfection; (ii) selection of larger sample sizes of both herds; (iii) inclusion of herds and cattle from the Apulia region only recruited randomly; and (iv) analysis of the test results using non-Bayesian approaches.
