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

Climate change is anticipated to increase the occurrence of zoonotic infections in domestic animals through changes in meteorological factors (e.g., temperature, precipitation) which create environmental conditions more favourable for pathogen persistence and transmission. The aims of this review were to identify climate-sensitive zoonotic infections in domestic cats and dogs, and the meteorological factors that influence these infections. The search strategy was applied to three academic databases and greyliterature sources to identify studies reporting on associations between meteorological variables and zoonotic infections or vectors in cats and/or dogs. Screening, data extraction, and analysis followed established scoping-review methods. After de-duplication, 40 studies met the eligibility criteria. Dogs were most commonly studied (31/40, 77.5%), followed by cats (5/40, 12.5%) and mixed cat-dog studies (4/40, 10%). Studies on non-vector-transmitted bacterial (
