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

Fasciolosis infects small ruminants, reduces productivity, and causes considerable economic losses to livestock producers. Despite its economic and veterinary importance, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on fasciolosis in the Malakand Division, Pakistan. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with fasciolosis in small ruminants in Malakand Division. A total of 1307 rectal fecal samples of sheep and 1274 of goats were collected randomly. The collected fecal samples were examined for Fasciolid eggs using the standard sedimentation technique, followed by microscopic identification based on egg morphology and operculum characteristics. The overall prevalence of fasciolosis in sheep and goats was 3.9 % and 2.04 %, respectively. The present study showed significant differences based on the Chi-square test (P < 0.05) in the prevalence of fasciolosis among animals of different ages, health conditions, drinking water sources, treatment status, and across the four seasons of the study year. Fasciolosis was observed to be significantly higher in young sheep and goats (7.08 %, 2.88 %), in untreated (4.45 %, 2.27 %), emaciated (5.88 %, 5.15 %), stream water drinking (5.41 %, 2.51 %), and during the summer season (6.48 %, 2.98 %), respectively. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of two
