Clinical form of babesiosis caused by Babesia canis in Polish foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
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
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is known to be a reservoir host of various vector-borne protozoan parasites. However, the impact of infections caused by Babesia canis on the health status of the red fox remains unknown, and research on this topic conducted on fox populations in Poland and worldwide has been fragmentary. It is known that these animals can become infected with Babesia canis, but it is unclear whether a clinical form of the disease can develop in them. This study aimed to present for the first time the cases of clinical babesiosis in foxes in Poland. The observations covered four foxes aged 3-6 years with apathy, anemia, brown color of urine and thrombocytopenia. The PCR and sequencing results confirmed that all the animals had been infected with Babesia canis protozoa. The diagnosis of clinical cases of babesiosis due to B. canis in foxes from this region of Europe suggests a contribution of red foxes to the establishment of this animal species as a new reservoir of B. canis. These animals may play a role as a host for B. canis, and previously unexposed red fox populations may be more prone to infection in areas colonized by D. reticulatus.
