Gastrointestinal parasites of red and roe deer investigated via metagenomics and histology.
Article in Parasites & vectors, 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
backgroundSome of the most common pathogens in wildlife are parasites. Since wild cervids are phylogenetically close to a lot of our livestock species, disease dynamics can arise, for example, through shared parasites. Insight into regional patterns, shaped by ecosystems and cross-species relationships, is only slowly emerging and the species-specific knowledge about lifecycle and ecology of parasites is often based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited. Possibilities for broad and easy investigation of parasites could be the key to widen our understanding of these systems and processes.
methodsHere, shotgun metagenomics were investigated as a method for parasite detection in fecal samples of wild ungulates. The results were further validated by histopathological examination of gastrointestinal tissues.
resultsThe results from the two methods are in line with similar studies, and while not being identical, complement each other.
conclusionsThis investigation revealed parasite composition and seasonal dynamics in two species of wild cervid red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).
