Epidemiological investigation and molecular detection of coccidial infection in yaks in parts of Qinghai Province, China.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
To inform coccidiosis control in Qinghai's yak regions, we examined Eimeria species composition and prevalence in grazing yaks, and assessed infection associations with season and mixed sheep grazing. Age-related data were unavailable due to unrecorded birth dates in pastoral systems. From September 2024 to April 2025, 559 fecal samples from yaks with suspected coccidiosis were collected across five counties: Tianjun, Haiyan, Gangcha, Maduo, and Gonghe. DNA extracted by fecal sedimentation was subjected to nested PCR of the 18S rRNA gene; positive amplicons were sequenced and identified by BLAST. Haplotype diversity was analyzed with DnaSP v6, networks constructed with PopArt, and a neighbor-joining tree built using Nosema portugal (AF033316) as an outgroup. The overall infection prevalence was 35.6% (199/559), with all counties affected and the highest rates in Maduo (53.2%), Gangcha (43.8%), and Haiyan (38.6%). Ten Eimeria species were identified, predominated by E. bovis (9.8%), E. ahsata (9.8%), and E. auburnensis (7.0%). E. bovis (20 haplotypes) had the dominant haplotype EmbH1 across all counties; E. ahsata and E. auburnensis (10 each) had EmsH3 and EmuH4 as dominant, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis placed all ten species in well-supported clades with reference sequences, with bovine-derived Eimeria clustering together, indicating host-parasite co-evolution. These findings reveal severe endemic status and high species and haplotype diversity. An integrated strategy comprising optimized feeding management, strategic anticoccidial treatment, and environmental sanitation is essential to reduce the epidemiological burden.
