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

Babesia ovis is a tick-transmitted intraerythrocytic apicomplexan parasite that causes ovine babesiosis, a disease with high economic impact in endemic regions. Although Rhipicephalus bursa is a known biological vector of B. ovis, the dynamics of vertical (transovarial) transmission are poorly understood. In the present study, the transovarial transmission of B. ovis was investigated experimentally in four continuous generations of R. bursa under laboratory controlled conditions. A total of 11 sheep were used during the study. An initial stabilate co-infected with B. ovis and Theileria ovis was inoculated into a splenectomized sheep, followed by an infestation with Babesia-free adult R. bursa. Study of dead tick bodies and larval pools by molecular methodology confirmed the elimination of T. ovis and the vertical transmission B. ovis. Rhipicephalus bursa ticks derived vertically from F
