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 new myxosporean species, Kudoa septempunctata n. sp. (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida), is described from the trunk muscles of an aquacultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) imported from Korea. This species formed pseudocysts in the myofiber without inflammatory reactions, and the infection was not evident macroscopically. Spores of the new species were irregularly stellate in apical view, with the majority having seven unequal valves, each with a polar capsule of variable size (the remaining spores had six valves and polar capsules). The spores had dimensions of: width 11.8 (11.1-13.1); thickness 9.4 (8.9-10.0); length 8.5 (7.9-8.9); polar capsule length 4.6 (3.7-5.3); and polar capsule width 2.4 (2.2-2.8; mean with range in parentheses; n = 10; all measurements in micrometers). Scanning electron microscopy of the spores revealed unequal positioning of the seven valves without a definite center, rounded posterior ends of valves, and tiny projections at the apex of each valve. The small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU rDNA) sequence of the new species was closely related to Kudoa spp. with five or more valves, particularly Kudoa thalassomi (97.6% identity) recorded from the trunk muscles of a moon wrasse (Thalassoma lunare) around the Australian continent. However, the latter species has six valves with a pointed edge and six polar capsules of a uniform size. The new species was also distinct from all presently known Kudoa spp. with seven valves and polar capsules, i.e. Kudoa yasunagai and Kudoa lethrini, regarding tissue tropism (trunk muscles versus brain), spore shape or external appendages, and SSU rDNA sequence.
