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

Eimeria spp. are major protozoan parasites of cattle, causing coccidiosis with substantial economic and animal health impacts worldwide. This study systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the global prevalence, species distribution and associated risk factors of Eimeria spp. in cattle. Various international databases were searched from inception to 16 April 2025. Eligible studies reported extractable prevalence data for naturally infected cattle. Pooled prevalence was estimated using a random-effects model, with heterogeneity assessed by I
