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

Chicken coccidiosis, caused by infection with one or more of the seven Eimeria spp., is a major challenge in global poultry production. Rapid and accurate identification at the species level is critical for guiding targeted treatment strategies, minimizing antibiotic misuse, and mitigating disease transmission. In this study, we developed a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform, E-MRC12a (Eimeria-Multiplex RAA-CRISPR/Cas12a), which integrates multiplex recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) with CRISPR/Cas12a technology for the simultaneous detection of all seven Eimeria species in chicken fecal samples. Key assay parameters were optimized to balance detection performance and operational cost. The system was comprehensively evaluated for its sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and field applicability. E-MRC12a enables visual, one-pot detection of as few as 1 oocyst/μL. The process from sample loading to result interpretation required 1 h, while the total time from initial sample processing to final result readout was approximately 2 h. The assay exhibited high specificity with no cross-reactivity among Eimeria species, and demonstrated 100% concordance with conventional diagnostic methods in clinical validation. This rapid, field-deployable platform provides a species-specific coccidiosis diagnostic solution, supporting epidemiological surveillance and multivalent anticoccidial vaccine development.
