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

purposeAs an important component of ecosystems, wildlife plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. However, wild animals are also natural hosts of pathogens. In this study, fecal samples from three of wild animals were collected from Hebei Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China. Species identification of these samples was performed, and the infection status of common zoonotic protozoa in these three wild animal species was detected.

methodsCommon zoonotic protozoa were detected after species identification by PCR.

resultsThe results of species identification showed that the fecal samples were from red fox (Vulpes vulpes), leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), and wild boar (Sus scrofa). Colpodella spp. was detected in red fox, with the closest phylogenetic relationship being to Colpodella spp. from Lake Luxembourg (NCBI accession number: GU067926.1); Giardia intestinalis (G. intestinalis) was detected in leopard cat, with the closest phylogenetic relationship to G. intestinalis assemblage F (NCBI accession number: LC341258.1).

conclusionsThe results showed that wild animals are affected by intestinal protozoan infection and that there is a risk of parasite transmission. The prevention and control of parasitic diseases in wild animals is not only conducive to the protection of animal welfare but also to public health.
