Canine leishmaniasis seroprevalence in asymptomatic dogs: results from an epidemiological study in endemic Mediterranean countries.

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
Introduction: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL), caused by Methods: From January to April 2024, the non-transmission period for sand flies, 548 clinically healthy dogs were enrolled in France, Greece, Italy, and Spain during routine veterinary visits. Dogs underwent clinical examination and rapid immunochromatographic testing for anti- Results: Overall seroprevalence was 7.3%, with marked variation among countries: France (2.9%), Spain (3.2%), Italy (8.8%), and Greece (19%). Univariable analysis showed no significant association between rapid test positivity and age, sex, or body weight. In contrast, country and sample material (plasma vs serum) were significantly associated with test results. In the multivariable model, only the country remained a significant predictor. A relevant proportion of seropositive asymptomatic dogs was detected among owned healthy dogs in endemic European regions, highlighting their potential epidemiological role in sustaining Discussion: These findings underscore the crucial role of veterinarians in promoting regular screening of clinically healthy dogs, increasing owner awareness of CanL, and encouraging the use of effective repellent-based parasiticides to reduce the risk of parasite transmission.
