Serological evidence of paracoccidioidomycosis infection in pantanal caimans (Caiman yacare).
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis of medical and veterinary importance. Infection by fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides has been reported in several animal species but has not yet been described in reptiles. This study aimed to investigate serological evidence of Paracoccidioides infection in wild caimans (Caiman yacare) from the Brazilian Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, a region endemic for PCM. Serum samples from 50 free-ranging caimans were analyzed by ELISA and immunodiffusion using gp43 and exoantigen, respectively. Anti-gp43 antibodies were detected in 30% of the samples by ELISA, whereas no reactivity was observed by immunodiffusion. No significant differences were found between males and females, indicating similar exposure to the pathogen. To our knowledge, this is the first report of serological evidence of Paracoccidioides infection in caimans, expanding the known host range of this pathogen.
