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

Trypanosomosis is a serious constraint to livestock productivity in Ethiopia, affecting a wide range of hosts. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2023 to December 2023 to determine the prevalence of trypanosomosis in small ruminants and its associated risk factors in the Abe Dongoro district, Oromia Regional State, western Ethiopia. A multi-stage sampling approach was employed for this study. A total of 390 blood samples (308 sheep and 82 goats) were collected from the ear vein using a random sampling method, considering various agro-ecological kebeles, body condition, age, and sex. The wet blood film examination and buffy coat technique were employed to determine the prevalence of trypanosomosis, and Giemsa-stained thin smears were used for species identification. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations between parasitic infection and risk factors. The overall prevalence of trypanosomosis in small ruminants was 17.69% (69/390), with 15.9% (49/308) in sheep and 24.39% (20/82) in goats. The dominant species of
