Poultry Coccidiosis in and Around Arba Minch, Southern Ethiopia: A Study Based on Coprological and Postmortem Findings.
Article in Immunity, inflammation and disease, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesEthiopia has a large chicken population, but its economic contribution is limited by disease challenges, especially coccidiosis. Despite coccidiosis's economic and health impacts, there is a notable gap in detailed knowledge regarding the predominant Eimeria species, associated intestinal lesions, and distribution across production settings in and around Arba Minch. This lack of comprehensive epidemiological and pathological facts is paramount to develop effective, evidence-based prevention and control strategies. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2023 and April 2024 in and around Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia, to estimate coccidiosis prevalence, identify Eimeria species, and assess associated risk factors for two exotic chicken breeds (Sasso T44 and Bovans Brown). The study also involved fecal flotation techniques, postmortem examination of chickens' intestines for gross lesions, and mucosal scraping to determine the predilection site of Eimeria species and identification of Eimeria (E.) species.
resultsA total of 1004 examined chickens, 219 (21.81%) harbored different Eimeria species. In the current study, statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the clinical status of the chickens, anticoccidial provision as prophylaxis, litter moisture, and water source. In this study, five species of Eimeria were identified: Eimeria tenella, Eimeria necatrix, Eimeria maxima, Eimeria brunetti, and Eimeria acervulina with proportions of 37.44%, 18.72%, 16.44%, 15.53%, and 11.87%, respectively. E. tenella was the predominant species in the study area. Postmortem examination was carried out on 24 birds, out of which 19 (79.17%) were positive for coccidiosis by mucosal scraping examination, and pathological changes/lesions were observed on different parts of the small intestine and cecum.
conclusionThe present study showed that coccidiosis is an important disease of poultry in the study area and strict sanitary and preventive measures needed to be implemented to reduce the loss due to poultry coccidiosis.
