1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Equine piroplasmosis, caused by Theileria equi, T. haneyi and Babesia caballi, significantly impacts on the veterinary and economic aspects of the global horse industry. However, many countries, including Vietnam, have not yet conducted epidemiological surveys to determine the prevalence of these haemoparasites. This study aimed to detect T. equi and/or B. caballi infections in horses and to identify their genotypes. Blood samples were collected from 154 apparently healthy horses in eight districts of Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, and Son La provinces located in the northern part of the country. Twenty-four horses (15.58%, 95%CI: 10.70–22.14%) were found to be infected with T. equi across six districts. Babesia caballi was not detected. No significant association was found between gender, host age, and the number of infected horses. Phylogenetic analysis of the 18S rRNA sequences from the positive DNA samples revealed genotypes A, C, and E. These results confirm the presence of equine theileriosis in northern Vietnam, highlighting the need for nationwide studies of equine piroplasmosis involving larger sample sizes.
