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

Zoonotic parasites associated with domestic dogs have been well-studied in the majority of Europe. In the Balkan region, however, there is minimal knowledge of the parasites in dogs in shelters for rehoming in other European countries. This study aimed to investigate parasitic infections in dogs from two private shelters in Pristina, Kosovo. Faecal samples were collected, representing both adult dogs (72%) and puppies (28%). Coproscopic analysis revealed that 88% of dogs were infected with at least one parasite, with hookworms being the most common. Amplicon metabarcoding targeting internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-2 rRNA gene confirmed the presence of only
