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

Background: Toxocariasis caused by Methods: A total of 409 dogs from Cairo, Qalyubia, Kafr El-Sheikh, and Gharbia were sampled. Serum samples were tested for anti- Results: The overall seroprevalence was 25.9% (106/409; 95% CI: 21.91-30.38%), with the highest prevalence in Cairo (32.2%) and the lowest in Qalyubia (19%). Dogs older than 4 years showed the highest seropositivity (37.4%). Seroprevalence was significantly higher among dogs fed homemade food (36%), living outdoors (41.5%), cohabiting with cats (32.4%), exhibiting coprophagy (30.4%), and those without regular deworming (33%). No statistically significant differences were observed between male and female dogs. Multivariate logistic regression identified older age, outdoor living, cohabitation with cats, coprophagy, homemade diet, and irregular deworming as significant risk factors for infection. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate substantial exposure of dogs to
