Mitochondrial nad5 gene-based genetic diversity analysis of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato hydatid cysts in small ruminants of north India.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 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
backgroundCystic echinococcosis, a neglected parasitic cyclo-zoonosis is endemic in the Indian subcontinent. The etiological agent for this potentially fatal disease is a cryptic species complex, Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.). The present study aimed at evaluating the role of small ruminants in circulating various E. granulosus s. l. genotypes in north India. METHODS AND
resultsThe cladistics, haplotype network and genetic structure analyses were performed on the E. granulosus s. l. isolates collected from the slaughtered small ruminants (n = 1049) of north India (Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana) along with GenBank-archived E. granulosus s. l. sequences (n = 20) of ruminant origin from the Indian subcontinent by targeting the mitochondrial nad5 gene. The NCBI BLASTn analysis revealed the presence of zoonotic genotypes G1, G3 (E. granulosus sensu stricto), G5 (E. ortleppi), and G6 (E. canadensis). Haplotype network analysis exhibited the presence of 14 haplotypes, where the haplotypes corresponding to E. granulosus sensu stricto (s. s.) species (genotypes G1 and G3) were arranged in a stellate conformation. High haplotype (0.837 ± 0.059, 0.836 ± 0.068 and 0.894 ± 0.078) and low nucleotide (0.0249 ± 0.0104, 0.0369 ± 0.0142 and 0.0036 ± 0.0008) diversities were recorded for the overall data set, as well as Indian and Pakistani E. granulosus s. l. populations, respectively.
conclusionBased on the mitochondrial nad5 gene, the present study provided comprehensive insights into the cladistics and population structure of E. granulosus s. l. genotypes circulating in north India and highlighted the role of sheep/goat-dog cycle in the circulation of the zoonotic genotypes.
