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

This study examines the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in fecal samples from free-ranging jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Pantanal biome and assesses their potential as bioindicators of environmental health at the human-animal interface using a noninvasive approach. In 2024, ten fresh fecal samples were collected from the ground at Piuval Lodge in the northern Pantanal, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. All samples were morphologically consistent with large felids, suggesting a high likelihood of originating from jaguars, based on field evidence. Coproparasitological analysis using sedimentation and flotation techniques identified Spirometra spp. eggs, with a positivity rate of 100%. Additionally, 20% of the samples tested positive for Toxocara spp. and one sample was positive for the genus Ancylostoma. This study highlights that jaguars (Panthera onca) are a potential bioindicator of environmental health and a sentinel species in the Pantanal, thus emphasizing the interaction between wildlife, domestic animals and human activities.
