Unseen Threats to Meat Safety: Exposing the Hidden Epidemic to Bovine Tuberculosis in Slaughterhouses.

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
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is a zoonotic illness of significant public health concern. This research aims to investigate the prevalence of BTB and its risk factors in Upper Egypt governorates. A total of 600 cattle (200 from each of New Valley, Qena, and Aswan) were tested using a single intradermal cervical tuberculin test (SICTT), and the positive animals were slaughtered at the central abattoirs of each governorate. The tissues of the affected carcasses were inspected by Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining and culturing, and confirmation of results was achieved through ELISA and PCR. The findings revealed that 2.3% of inspected animals tested positive by the SICTT. Qena recorded the highest rate of tuberculin-positive animals at 3.5%. BTB was found to be statistically associated with sex, body condition, age, breed, and yard density, and the thoracic organs and their lymph nodes were mostly affected. ZN staining identified only 85.7% of the isolates as acid-fast bacilli. ELISA results indicated that 78.6% of positive tuberculin animals were also positive for bovine-purified protein derivative antigen and 71.4% were positive for commercial polypeptide antigen. Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between the molecular identification of
