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

Background: Sporotrichosis is a zoonotic fungal infection caused by Aim: To investigate the incidence and potential risk factors of feline sporotrichosis in Thonburi District, Bangkok, Thailand, from 2018 to 2024. Methods: A retrospective review of clinical records was conducted at a veterinary clinic in Thonburi. Among the 1,030 cats examined, 22 cases of sporotrichosis were confirmed through cytological examination. Data collected included sex, neuter status, age, husbandry system, feline leukemia virus (FeLV)/feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection status, and blood parasite infections. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test was performed to identify significant associations between infections and risk factors. Results: The incidence of sporotrichosis was 2.14%. Infected cats were evenly distributed between sexes, with 68.18% being unneutered. All infected cats were domestic shorthairs raised in open systems. Clinical signs included ulcerative skin lesions, sneezing, nasal swelling, anorexia, and dehydration. Co-infection with FeLV, FIV, and Conclusion: Feline sporotrichosis in Thonburi is significantly associated with open husbandry systems and immunosuppressive viral infections. Effective treatment is possible but requires long-term owner compliance. Public education on closed-system cat care and early diagnosis should be included in preventive strategies. These findings support the relevance of the One Health approach in managing zoonotic fungal diseases in urban settings.
