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 parvovirus (CPV-2) is one of the most important viral diseases affecting domestic dogs worldwide, particularly in unvaccinated and poorly managed canine populations. Despite its major veterinary and economic impact, epidemiological information regarding canine parvovirus remains scarce in Guinea, especially in the urban commune of Labé. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of canine parvovirus and identify factors associated with infection among dogs in the study area. A descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted between September and November 2024 among 102 dogs selected from seven neighborhoods of the urban commune of Labé. Rectal swab samples were collected from dogs after owner consent and analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for the detection of CPV-2 genetic material. Epidemiological and management data were collected using structured questionnaires administered to dog owners and breeders. Statistical analyses were performed using logistic regression to evaluate potential associations between infection and selected risk factors. The overall prevalence of canine parvovirus was 10.8% (11/102), confirming active viral circulation in the study area. Higher prevalence rates were observed in male dogs (11.9%) and free-roaming dogs (11.5%) compared with female dogs and caged dogs, respectively. Dogs aged 6-10 years showed the highest prevalence (20.0%). However, no statistically significant association was identified between infection and the investigated factors (p > 0.05). In addition, the survey revealed low owner awareness of canine parvovirus and limited vaccination practices. These findings indicate that canine parvovirus remains an important animal health concern in the urban commune of Labé. Strengthening vaccination programs, improving owner awareness, promoting responsible dog management, and reinforcing epidemiological surveillance are necessary to reduce viral transmission and associated canine health losses.
