Anthelmintic control failure and associated risk factors reported by farmers in communal sheep farming, Oliver Tambo District, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Article in Veterinary record open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Helminth control on communal farms of South Africa, primarily relies on anthelmintic drugs, administered by farmers without veterinary supervision. This study investigated risk factors associated with farmer-reported anthelmintic control failure on communal sheep farms in Oliver Tambo District of the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire capturing farm characteristics, helminth control practices and treatment failure was administered to 107 farmers between January and August 2024. Results: Most of the farmers encountered were older males (56%) aged over 65 years. Helminth eggs were identified in sheep faecal samples, revealing four genera: Conclusion: These findings underscore the need for improved helminth management strategies to enhance the effectiveness of anthelmintic treatments in communal farming systems.
