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

Spermatological characters of the caryophyllidean tapeworm Khawia sinensis (Lytocestidae), a carp parasite, have been investigated for the first time. The process of the spermatozoon formation corresponds in basic pattern to that of Khawia armeniaca (Brunanská and Poddubnaya, Parasitol Res 99: 449-454, 2006). The presence of dense material at the early stages of spermiogenesis, the intercentriolar body, flagellar rotation (free flagellum plus flagellar bud), and a complete proximodistal fusion have been reported. In addition, it was shown that the developing spermatids may exhibit a free flagellum distally. The unipartite young spermatid and/or mature spermatozoon of K. sinensis consist of one axoneme of the 9 + "1" trepaxonematan pattern, nucleus, and cortical microtubules. These components are situated in cytoplasm, which is either electrolucent (young spermatid) or moderately electrodense (mature spermatozoon). The crested body is absent. The proximal extremity of the male gamete of K. sinensis contains a centriole and a few (up to six) cortical microtubules arranged in a semicircle. The number of cortical microtubules increases distally and reaches maximum (up to 15) in the middle part of the filiform cell, which contains the nucleus. The posterior extremity of the mature spermatozoon exhibits elements of the disorganized axoneme. The ultrastructural characteristics of spermiogenesis and the mature spermatozoon of K. sinensis support basal position of the Caryophyllidea (and Spathebothriidea) relative to other eucestode orders.
