Effects of prolonged worm storage on the viability of Echinostoma caproni eggs.
Article in Parasitology research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study examined the effects of long-term worm storage on the viability of Echinostoma caproni eggs. Gravid adults (referred to as worm carcasses or WCs) were maintained in Locke's 1:1 at 4 degrees C for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months prior to use. When used, about 100 eggs at each time interval were tested for viability by embryonating them at either 22 +/- 1 degrees C for 14 days or 28 degrees C for 10 days in artificial spring water. Viability was determined by detecting fully developed miracidia in the eggs or miracidia in the cultures at the above-mentioned time periods. There was a high percentage of fully developed eggs from WCs stored in Locke's 1:1 at 4 degrees C for 2 and 4 months, 92% and 71%, respectively. Beyond these times, there was a marked decline in egg viability. We suggest that WCs should not be stored for longer than 4 months in Locke's 1:1 at 4 degrees C to obtain optimal embryonation and hatching of E. caproni.
