Brucella canis outbreak management towards rehoming strategies: The Italian experience.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Canine brucellosis, caused by Brucella canis, is a contagious disease leading to reproductive disorders in both male and female dogs. In April 2020, Italy reported its first outbreak of B. canis in a central breeding kennel housing over 680 toy breed dogs. Following confirmation, animal movement was restricted, and a no-kill strategy was implemented to manage the outbreak. A structured protocol, integrating castration and neutering and serological testing, was developed to identify and rehome B. canis-negative dogs. This study describes the procedure used to select non-infected dogs and the follow-up monitoring protocol applied post-adoption. Over 300 dogs were successfully rehomed, with laboratory investigations confirming no occurrence of late infection in the adopted animals. These results support the inclusion of rehoming strategies as a viable option in B. canis outbreak management.
