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: Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between September and December 2025 on 550 sheep blood samples collected from 55 commercial farms across Afyonkarahisar Province. Anti- Results and Discussion: The overall animal-level seroprevalence was 42.2% (232/550; 95% CI: 38.0%-46.4%), and 44 of 55 farms (80.0%; 95% CI: 67.0%-89.6%) were classified as seropositive. In multivariable analysis using Firth's penalized logistic regression, five variables were independently associated with higher seropositivity: flock-level history of abortion (aOR = 3.77; 95% CI: 2.41-6.00), age over 12 months (aOR = 3.54; 95% CI: 2.15-5.97), communal pasture use (aOR = 74.12; 95% CI: 10.22-9431.54, wide owing to quasi-complete separation), leaving aborted materials on site (aOR = 2.30; 95% CI: 1.49-3.61), and irregular barn cleaning (aOR = 2.32; 95% CI: 1.46-3.72). Cat presence was universal across all 55 farms, precluding statistical evaluation; however, stray cats had unrestricted access to feed and water on every farm, likely representing the primary driver of environmental oocyst contamination. Breed, sex, water source, and antiparasitic drug type were not significantly associated with seropositivity.
