Survey of internal parasites in captive ungulates from Lahore parks, Pakistan.
Article in Helminthologia, 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
Wild animals are mostly kept for recreational purposes in zoos and parks. Health-related issues faced by these enclosure animals. The GIT (gastrointestinal tract) of an animal is affected by parasitic infections. The current study was conducted to fi nd out the prevalence and diversity of GI parasites of wild animals enclosed in the different parks and zoos of Lahore. Fresh faecal samples (n=110) of captive ungulate species were collected from Lahore Zoo (n=55), Jallo Park (n=35) and the woodland wildlife park (n=20). Samples obtained from captive ungulates include 23 from black buck, 24 from moufl on sheep, 30 from hog deer, 13 from nilgai and 20 from urial. Methods such as the fl otation concentration technique, the sedimentation technique and the faecal egg count per gram were used to analyze the diversity of endoparasites in faecal samples. Parasitological analyses detect 10 parasites in the faecal sample. Kruskal-Wallis Post Hoc statistical test was used to compare the prevalence of the specifi ed parasitic species among different captive ungulates. The results show that individuals of lower age are more susceptible to infections. The overall diversity of GI parasitic infections in captive ungulates was 77.25 %. Survivability of captive ungulates could be affected by the prevalence of parasitic species. These fi ndings can be used to develop effective health protocols for captive ungulates, thereby reducing the severe consequences of GI parasitic infections in captive wild animals.
