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

Infections by M. avium and M. tuberculosis in companion animals are little reported. This case series describes four instances of mycobacterial infections in companion animals (three cats and one dog) in southern Brazil. We detail the diagnostic challenges and emphasize their epidemiological relevance in a One Health context. Histopathology, acid-fast bacilli staining, mycobacterial culture and PCR were used to confirm the infections. Clinical presentations, diagnostic workups, and therapeutic outcomes were reviewed. One case involved disseminated infection by M. avium in a cat with partial therapeutic success, representing the first such case reported in Rio Grande do Sul. Two cats were diagnosed with disseminated M. tuberculosis var bovis infection, all with a fatal outcome. A final case of M. tuberculosis var tuberculosis in a dog showed multisystemic dissemination and was linked to an owner previously treated for TB. These findings highlight the underrecognized role of companion animals in the epidemiology of mycobacterial infections in Brazil. Increased awareness and surveillance are needed, particularly in rural settings. A One Health approach is crucial for mitigating risks to both animal and human health.
