Hemotropic mycoplasmas and Bartonella spp. in dogs from Southern Italy: prevalence and risk factors.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) include several zoonoses and represent an important concern where veterinarians play a major role. Although usually responsible for asymptomatic infections in animals and humans, these agents may also have fatal consequences in immunocompromised patients. In this study, different categories of dogs from the Campania region (southern Italy) were investigated for three canine vector-borne bacteria (i.e., Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum, Mycoplasma haemocanis, and Bartonella spp.) by using specific real-time PCR protocols. Out of 187 dogs, 45 (i.e., 24.1%) tested positive for at least one pathogen, with Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum (14.4%) being the most prevalent, followed by Mycoplasma haemocanis (12.8%) and Bartonella spp. (1.6%). Coinfections with more than one agent were observed in 4.8% of the samples. The analysis of risk variables indicated province, activity, and lifestyle as risk factors associated with greater prevalence values. Non-hunting dogs (OR = 0.11) showed a significantly lower likelihood of being positive for at least one infection. Living outdoors (OR = 3.46), in Salerno province (OR = 13), had a higher likelihood of testing positive for at least one hemotropic species. These findings revealed a wide distribution of CBVDs in dog populations of the study area, clearly underlining the necessity for effective efforts to minimize ectoparasite activity.
