Occurrence and Risk Factors of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Tigers (Panthera tigris) in Thailand: Influence of Age and Sex.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
backgroundToxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite of significant concern in both public and animal health.
objectivesThis study investigated the occurrence of T. gondii in 135 captive tigers (Panthera tigris) across seven tiger parks in Thailand. Tiger parks, as theme-based wildlife attractions, are high-risk venues for zoonotic disease transmission due to the close contact between humans and captive wild animals.
methodsThe presence of T. gondii specific antibodies was determined using a latex agglutination test.
resultsSerological analysis revealed that 42.96% (58/135; 95% CI: 34.48-51.76) of the tigers tested positive for T. gondii antibodies. Females exhibited a significantly higher occurrence of 51.43% (36/70; 39.17-63.56) compared to males at 33.85% (22/65; 22.57-46.65) (p = 0.039). Ordinal logistic regression model was applied to assess the influence of sex and age on T. gondii-specific antibodies. The results demonstrated that both sex and age were significantly associated with the level of antibodies. Female tigers exhibited a significantly higher likelihood of seropositive titre (OR = 20.13, p = 0.026), and the probability of titre increased with age (OR = 1.91, p = 0.001).
conclusionsThese findings highlight the potential risk of T. gondii transmission in captive tiger populations and emphasize the importance of regular surveillance and improved management practices in reducing zoonotic transmission.
