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 etiological agents of cystic echinococcosis comprise a species complex, Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.). Despite high endemicity, the disease remains neglected in most parts of the globe, including India. The present study aimed at investigating the genotypes of Echinococcus granulosus s. l. circulating in sheep and goats in two states (Haryana and Himachal Pradesh) and a union territory (Chandigarh) of north India. Out of 1049 slaughtered small ruminants (n = 314, 394, and 341 from Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, and Haryana, respectively), 85 (n = 53, 17, and 15 from Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, and Haryana, respectively) exhibited the presence of hydatid cysts. Based on the mitochondrial cox I and ATP6 genes, phylogeny, the population structure and haplotype network analyses were performed. Genotypes G1 and G3, and G6 corresponding to E. granulosus sensu stricto and E. canadensis, respectively, were recorded. Population structure analysis revealed a low nucleotide and high haplotype diversities for the present study isolates, emphasizing a recent population expansion. The perusal of literature revealed the present study to be the first to highlight small ruminants as intermediate hosts for the transmission of genotype G6 of E. granulosus s. l. in India.
