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

Background: Brucellosis, caused by bacterial pathogens of the genus Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was employed from May to June 2024. A total of 140 serum samples collected from goats ( Results: Overall, 8 out of 140 samples (5.71%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.50%-10.95%) were reactive on RBPT screening. Upon confirmatory testing with CFT, 6 samples were validated, yielding an overall CFT-confirmed seroprevalence of 4.29% (95% CI: 1.59-9.09%). Seroprevalence was higher in sheep (6.35%, 95% CI: 1.76-15.47%) than in goats (2.60%, 95% CI: 0.32-9.07%); higher in females (4.95%, 95% CI: 1.63-11.18%) than in males (2.56%, 95% CI: 0.06-13.48%); and restricted to animals older than 18 months (6.74%, 95% CI: 2.51-14.10%) compared with younger ones (0.00%, 95% CI: 0.00-6.98%). Geographically, the Turu B Ward recorded the highest seroprevalence (5.88%, 95% CI: 0.72-19.68%). None of the demographic associations reached statistical significance ( Conclusion: This study provides serological evidence of
