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

Gastrointestinal helminth infections remain a major constraint to ruminant health and productivity, particularly in small-scale farming systems where parasite control is often limited. This study investigated the prevalence and distribution of gastrointestinal helminth infections in cattle and buffalo raised in Phayao Province, Thailand. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August and October 2025, during which 696 fecal samples were collected from cattle and buffalo across six subdistricts and examined using the formalin-ethyl acetate concentration technique. The overall prevalence of infection was 47.8% (333/696), with a higher prevalence observed in cattle (53.8%) than in buffalo (29.7%). Five helminth groups were detected, with strongyle-type nematodes being the most prevalent (28.3%), followed by rumen flukes (11.8%), liver flukes (11.2%), Strongyloides spp. (6.0%), and Trichuris spp. (1.6%). Single infections were more common (37.8%) than mixed infections (10.1%). Analysis of host-associated factors showed no significant association between infection status and age or sex in either host species, whereas cattle breed was significantly associated with infection. These findings indicate a widespread occurrence of gastrointestinal helminth infections among ruminants in the study area and emphasize the need for strengthened parasite control programs and regular monitoring to reduce infection risk and associated production losses.
