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

Tick-borne haemoparasities (TBHs) cause substantial economic loss to the livestock population due to reduced productivity and working efficiency of the animals along with high mortality rate in untreated cases. A total of 240 blood samples were collected from native (N = 95) and crossbred cattle (N = 145) over 12 months. Microscopical examination of Giemsa-stained thin blood smears and PCR revealed that 27.08% of the animals were infected with at least one TBH. Theileria spp. was the most prevalent (18.75%), followed by Anaplasma spp. (11.25%), mixed infection (6.66%) and Babesia spp. (3.75%). Significantly higher prevalence (p < 0.01) was observed in crossbred (32.14%), female (27.43%), adult cattle (32.61%), and during the monsoon season (34.29%). Molecular comparison of the PCR amplified nucleotide sequences targeting MPSP, msp4, and 18S rRNA in five isolates of T. orientalis and one each of B. bigemina and A. marginale confirmed the presence of T. orientalis, A. marginale, and B. bigemina. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolates were closely related to those found in neighboring countries like China, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. The findings highlight the significant prevalence of TBHs in Tripura, which warrants widespread screening of animals covering all the districts along with study on vector biology.
