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

Toxoplasma gondii, an important food-borne parasite, has been reported in a wide range of food animals, including poultry. Dongan chicken, a native breed of Hunan province, subtropical China, is widely consumed, but its T. gondii infection status remains unknown. A total of 1,220 serum samples were collected from Dongan chickens intended for human consumption in Hunan province, China. Serum samples were tested for T. gondii IgG antibodies using an indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA). IgG antibodies against T. gondii were detected in 434 (35.6%; 95% CI: 32.9-38.3) of the examined serum samples. The seroprevalence of the six surveyed herds ranged from 31.7% to 39.8% (P > 0.05). Statistical analysis identified age, gender and farm model as significant risk factors for infection (P < 0.001). This is the first report of T. gondii seroprevalence in Dongan chickens in Yongzhou in Hunan province. The high seroprevalence suggests a potential risk for human and animal infection. Effective measures should be implemented to control T. gondii infection in Dongan chickens in Hunan province, subtropical China.
