Pneumo-/enteritis in dromedary camels (
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
Pneumo-/enteritis is a co-occurrence of respiratory and enteric syndrome unique to juvenile weaned camels that causes high morbidities and mortalities and economic losses in food production in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding Gulf countries. This review focuses on its epidemiology, clinical impact, and control strategies in Saudi Arabia and neighboring arid Middle Eastern countries, where camel production is a major livestock sector. Pneumo-/enteritis is a multifactorial disease syndrome characterized by the concurrent or sequential development of pneumonia and enteritis in camel calves. The condition typically results from a combination of infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites acting synergistically, often under the influence of predisposing stress factors that compromise immune function. Moreover, this review summarizes current knowledge on the epidemiology, pathogenicity and lesions associated with the major pathogens that have been reported to cause pneumo-/enteritis in dromedary camels. Unlike previous reviews that have examined camel respiratory or enteric diseases as separate entities, this review provides an integrated assessment of pneumo-/enteritis by synthesizing evidence on viral, bacterial, and parasitic co-infections and their combined contribution to disease development in camel calves., with particular emphasis on the circulating pathogens in the Middle East region with priority to those commonly recorded in Saudi Arabia and surrounding arid nations. The current inefficient protocols for diagnosis of infectious pathogens causing pneumo-/enteritis as well as the lack of vaccination protocols need to be highlighted and further future studies on implantation of diagnostic methodologies and vaccination protocols to control this syndrome are mandatory issues. Despite advances in understanding disease causation, major gaps remain in rapid field diagnostics, pathogen-specific surveillance, and effective vaccination strategies, highlighting the need for integrated control programs tailored to camel herds in arid production systems.
