Abattoir Surveillance of Suspected Cystic Echinococcosis in Cattle: Insights From Molecular Analysis in a Hypoendemic Area.
Article in Veterinary medicine international, 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
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease of global public health impact. In hypoendemic regions, the epidemiological role of cattle as intermediate hosts remains unclear, and routine abattoir-based surveillance may overestimate prevalence due to diagnostic limitations. This study integrated a retrospective and prospective study of CE in cattle from the hypoendemic areas of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions (northern Italy) based on postmortem surveillance at slaughterhouses. Retrospective data were analyzed over four years (2021-2024), and the prospective study was performed in 2025, combining macroscopic inspection with anatomopathological and molecular analyses to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. The retrospective analysis revealed a low mean prevalence of suspected CE (0.32%), while prospective evaluation showed an apparent prevalence of 0.08% based on macroscopic inspection. However, molecular analyses revealed the absence of
