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

Brucellosis is a major zoonosis affecting livestock production and public health. With the rapid expansion of sika and red deer farming in China, reports of deer brucellosis have increased. We searched CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, and ScienceDirect and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, including 47 studies published from January 1978 to September 2025 (54,699 samples). The pooled seroprevalence was 16.3% (95% CI: 10.9-22.4), with substantial heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses suggested an overall increase after 2000 and higher estimates in major deer-farming areas of northern China. Seroprevalence tended to be higher in red deer than in sika deer, in adults than in subadults and juveniles, and in females than in males, and was also higher during summer and autumn. Method-stratified subgroup meta-regression did not detect statistically significant differences across diagnostic methods (
