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: Echinococcosis constitutes a major zoonotic parasitic disease with profound public health and socioeconomic implications. Dog deworming remains a cornerstone intervention endorsed by World Health Organization. This study comparatively assessed automated vs. manual praziquantel (PZQ) bait delivery systems for dog echinococcosis control. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded field trial employing a One Health framework was conducted in Tianzhu Zangzu Zizhixian, China-a cystic echinococcosis endemic region. Township-level cluster randomization allocated dogs to smart collar deworming group (SCDG) with monthly automated PZQ delivery and manual deworming group (MDG) with conventional bait administration. Intervention assignment remained masked between groups. Laboratory personnel were blinded during fecal antigen analysis using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) evaluated efficacy via odds ratios ( Results: From June 2021 to July 2023, 1920 dogs (800 from SCDG, 1120 from MDG) were enrolled with owner consent. Among the 5119 fecal samples analyzed (2320 from SCDG, 2799 from MDG), 33 were antigen-positive (8 from SCDG, 25 from MDG). Baseline positivity showed no intergroup difference (SCDG: 0.8 % [6/792] vs. MDG: 1.2 % [13/1099], Conclusions: Field deployment of smart collars proves operationally viable, sustainably enhancing deworming frequency while reducing dog infection rates more effectively than manual methods. The 56.8 % protective effect advancement mitigates environmental egg contamination, thereby lowering zoonotic transmission risk.
