Veterinary medicine in reintroduction and reinforcement of the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis: a review.
Review in BMC veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The European pond turtle Emys orbicularis is among the most endangered reptile species in Europe, facing severe population decline due to habitat loss and environmental degradation. Conservation efforts increasingly rely on translocation-based strategies, including species reintroduction and reinforcement. Veterinary medicine plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and survival of captive-bred and translocated individuals, yet standardized health assessment protocols remain scarce. This review based on 418 publications synthesizes current veterinary practices related to freshwater turtle conservation, focusing on health monitoring before, during, and after translocation. We evaluate key medical concerns across different life stages, including prevention of zootechnical issues, pathogen screening, microbiome health, and adaptation challenges in captive and wild populations. Additionally, we propose standardized health assessment guidelines to improve diagnostic accuracy and long-term monitoring, and provide a global overview of the common health issues as well as normal blood reference values. By fostering transdisciplinary collaboration between veterinarians, researchers and conservationists, this study aims to refine best practices and ensure sustainable, evidence-based conservation efforts for E. orbicularis and other freshwater turtle species.
