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

The current range of African great apes includes countries with some of the world's highest incidence rates of human tuberculosis (TB). Non-human primates (NHPs) living in their natural habitats are expected to be free of TB. However, TB represents a known threat to captive NHP communities. We applied a non-invasive sponge-based environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to run a cross-sectional survey at the human-animal interface in a challenging setting: the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The study sites included a primate rehabilitation centre, the local health area, and a nearby national park with critically endangered Eastern Lowland Gorillas (
