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

Background: Objective: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence, associated risk factors, and genotype distribution of Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 554 pregnant women attending antenatal care in public hospitals between January 2022 and April 2024. Systematic random sampling was used. ELISA detected Results: Overall seroprevalence was 54.3%, with 6.1% testing IgG-positive only, 9.4% IgM-positive only, and 38.8% positive for both. Cat ownership (AOR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.4-3.5) and dog ownership (AOR = 4.9; 95% CI: 2.9-8.1) were significantly associated with infection. Among 28 IgM-positive samples, Type II strains predominated (50%), followed by Types I and III (25% each). Conclusion: These findings support targeted screening and pet-handling education to reduce the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis. Further molecular surveillance is recommended to inform public health strategies.
