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

Clostridioides difficile is the cause of the C. difficile infection (CDI) in humans and several other animal species. The microorganism is also found in the environment and in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy individuals of multiple animals of a variety of species. Although CDI in most domestic animals has historically been described in individuals receiving antibiotic treatment, or in the case of horse, hospitalized animals, the number of cases in which no antibiotic treatment or hospitalization association was known has been increasing over the past few years. Co-infections with other bacteria or parasites, intestinal displacements, transport, or surgical or medical treatment are also possible predisposing factors for CDI in horses. In most animals species, CDI is not age-associated. Although it has been suggested that CDI may be a zoonosis, this has not been demonstrated.
