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

Background: Cœnurosis is a cestodosis of the central nervous system of sheep is caused by Aim: The objective of the research is to determine the prevalence of cœnurosis in sheep in the province of Kenitra and to highlight the relationship between this disease and risk factors, namely sex, age, farming system, and seasons. Methods: We conducted a study on 687 animals from various locations. The latter adopt extensive and intensive farming methods. We collected all brains of sheep showing neurological signs of cœnurosis; all cysts extracted from infected brains were stored in coolers for subsequent analysis of their fertility and viability to create a database for determining the prevalence of the disease and identifying the risk factors that influence its persistence. Results: Post-mortem examination of the heads of infected animals showed that 12.37% harboured cœnurosis cysts filled with a translucent fluid containing numerous clearly visible protoscolices; data analysis revealed a positive relationship between the prevalence of Conclusion: It should be concluded that the prevalence of sheep cœnurosis in Kenitra, Morocco, has reached a worrying level (12.37%), which requires increased attention to sheep health in the region to prevent the spread of this disease. It is necessary to raise awareness among sheep farmers, to permanently eliminate infected animals by burying or incinerating them, to regularly deworm dogs, and finally to collect and destroy dog droppings near feed storage areas or water points to prevent sheep from ingesting tapeworm eggs while grazing.
