Serosurvey of tuberculosis in wild boars in Xinjiang, Northwest China: a pilot study.
Article in Irish veterinary journal, 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
backgroundTuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), poses a significant risk for zoonotic transmission, especially with the increasing wild boar population in China. Following the annual wildlife disease surveillance, we conducted a serosurvey to determine the prevalence of TB in wild boars. We collected 512 serum samples from 25 counties of Xinjiang, Northwest China, and used ELISA to detect antibodies against bPPD. TB seropositivity was defined as a mean sample OD450nm ≥ 2×the mean negative control OD450nm, and employed cluster analysis with purely spatial scan statistics using the Bernoulli model.
resultsThe seropositivity was 10.0% (51/512), with higher rates in farmed wild boars (12.0%, 47/391) than feral wild boars (3.3%, 4/121), indicating a greater risk in farmed wild boar populations. Spatial analysis revealed two clusters near the Sino-Kazakh border, underscoring the need for targeted surveillance and control measures to prevent zoonotic transmission.
conclusionXinjiang is a endemic area for MTBC exposure, with farmed wild boars posing higher risk. Findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance, control measures, and international collaboration to prevent zoonotic transmission.
