Molecular epidemiology and genetic relatedness of zoonotic Campylobacter species from human and food-producing animal sources in Enugu State, Nigeria.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Food-producing animals are key reservoirs of zoonotic Campylobacter species, mainly C. jejuni and C. coli, causing human gastroenteritis and animal reproductive issues. Epidemiological data on these pathogens in Nigeria are scarce, limiting control efforts. This study reports the first molecular epidemiology and clonal analysis of Campylobacter from humans and animals in Enugu State, Nigeria. Isolates were obtained using standard microbiological methods. Molecular identification employed conventional PCR, while genetic relatedness was assessed via ERIC-PCR. Campylobacter coli (61.1%) was the predominant species isolated in this study. The overall prevalence of Campylobacter species infections (CSI) was 18.5% (224/1,212). The host-specific prevalence were 16.5% (67/406), 20.4% (85/416) and 18.5% (72/390) for slaughtered cattle, poultry, and humans, respectively. In slaughtered cattle, CSI was significantly [χ
