Prevalence and Risk Factors of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Buffaloes Across Commercial and Subsistence Farming Systems in Butwal, Nepal.

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
Background: Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) impair livestock productivity and impose economic burdens on farmers. Buffaloes are central to Nepal's dairy sector, yet comparative data on GIP burden across farming systems remain limited. Objective: This study investigates GIP prevalence and associated risk factors in buffaloes under commercial and subsistence farming systems in Butwal submetropolitan city, Nepal, an area of rapidly expanding dairy production. Methods: From July to September 2023, 224 fecal samples (112 per farming system) were collected from female buffaloes aged ≥ 3 years. Samples were examined microscopically using flotation and sedimentation techniques, and management and environmental factors were captured through structured questionnaires and field observations. Logistic regression identified predictors of infection. Results: Overall, 58.9% of samples contained oocysts or eggs of one or more GIP. The identified parasites included three protozoa ( Conclusion: The substantial GIP burden and system-specific risk factors highlight the need for improved parasite management. Enhanced deworming, better grazing practices, and farmer education may help reduce infections and improve buffalo productivity.
