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
This study aimed to detect, using parasitological and molecular methods, and to genetically characterize Trypanosoma spp. in cattle from the municipality of Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 226 blood samples were collected from dairy cattle across eight farms, and DNA was extracted for PCR amplification of the 18S rRNA gene of Trypanosoma spp. In parasitological examinations, including blood smears and the Woo's technique, no trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma spp. were observed. Molecular detection via 18S rRNA identified the parasite in 0.88% (2/226) of the samples. The resulting amplicons were sequenced, aligned, and compared with GenBank sequences for phylogenetic analysis. The analyses confirmed 100% identity with T. theileri, prompting further molecular characterization using the 24Sα rRNA (257 pb) and CatL (295 pb) genes. Phylogenetic analysis of T. theileri indicated circulation of the TthI lineage, encompassing genotype IB, in the municipality of Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro. These findings expand knowledge on the geographic distribution of T. theileri in Brazil and underscore the importance of monitoring cattle herds, considering the economic and health significance of trypanosomatids.
