Treatment evaluation using ultrasonographic scanning of the spleen in Arabian horses affected by babesiosis.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. 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
Background: Equine babesiosis is a widespread protozoan disease in Saudi Arabia. The most common finding of clinical babesiosis is splenomegaly, which can be detected using non-invasive splenic ultrasonography. Aim: This study aimed to investigate changes in the spleen size in horses infected with babesiosis using ultrasonography before and after treatment. Methods: This study employed 15 male and female Arabian horses. Each animal was examined clinically for clinical signs, and blood samples were collected in plain tubes to detect antibodies against Results: Using ultrasonography, the diseased horses showed an increase in spleen measurements compared with the healthy horses before treatment. Splenomegaly in infected horses was reduced 14 days after treatment according to ultrasound measurements. Conclusion: Ultrasonographic scanning of the spleen could be practically applied as a supportive method for the diagnosis and follow-up of babesiosis treatment in horses.
