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

A survey on the host range for the parasitic ciliate Cryptocaryon irritans was carried out among the major maricultured fish species in the Huizhou region of Guangdong Province in South China, and some characteristics of its host-parasite relationship were described. The survey showed that all ten investigated species of fish (representing six different families) were infected with C. irritans with similar susceptibility. In chemoattraction assays, sera and mucus collected from investigated fish strongly attracts C. irritans theronts. Sera collected from infected orange-spotted groupers and yellow spotted grunts (Plectorhynchus cinctus) could immobilize C. irritans theronts, and their immobilization titers were 1:40 and 1:6.7, respectively. The surface antigens of C. irritans were demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence and immunostaining assays using immune orange-spotted grouper serum and a monoclonal antibody against grouper IgM.
