Molecular detection and distribution of Treponema species in a commercial dairy cattle herd in Slovakia.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
We analyzed the occurrence and distribution of selected Treponema species in dairy cows using 335 interdigital swabs, 335 fecal samples, and 25 surface swabs from bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) lesions. In surface swabs from BDD lesions, Treponema medium (92%), Treponema pedis (88%), and Treponema brennaborense (56%) were the most frequently detected species. Interdigital swabs from BDD-positive cows revealed the presence of T. medium in 40%, T. pedis in 12%, and T. brennaborense in 4% of samples. In the healthy group, T. medium was detected in 21.3%, T. pedis in 4.8%, and T. brennaborense in 1.3% of samples. Treponema species were also detected in fecal samples from both groups, with T. brennaborense found in 28% of BDD-positive cows and 22.3% of healthy cows, while T. pedis was present at a similar rate (8%) in both groups. In fecal samples from healthy cows, the proportion of T. brennaborense was significantly higher compared to T. medium and T. pedis (p < 0.001). Similarly, analysis of interdigital swabs showed a significantly higher occurrence of T. brennaborense compared to T. medium (p < 0.001). These findings highlight distinct distribution patterns of Treponema species across different sample types and suggest their potential relevance in the diagnosis and understanding of reservoir dynamics in BDD infections.
