Application of Microbial and Parasitology Techniques for Diagnosis in Laboratory Rodents.

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
Pathogen diagnosis in rodents through effective health monitoring programs is essential for maintaining high welfare and standards in laboratory animal facilities. Although many animal facilities are increasingly adopting real-time polymerase chain reaction testing of environmental or filter samples for pathogen detection, thereby reducing the need for sentinel animals, classical methods such as microbiological assays and microscopic examination for parasites, remain essential and relevant tools in laboratory animal diagnostics. This article describes protocols for the identification of bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents in mice and rats in accordance with the recommendations of the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations. The methodologies presented detailed procedures for sample collection from mice and rats and for screening these samples using bacterial, parasitological, and viral panels. In addition, we describe bacterial culture techniques and the use of selective and differential media for pathogen isolation, as well as step-by-step protocols for the detection of pinworms, mites, and parasite eggs. These protocols provide a practical foundation for establishing a basic diagnostic laboratory to support standardized animal husbandry and health monitoring quality. © 2026 The Author(s).
