Ultrastructure and phylogeny of Kudoa barracudai sp. nov. infecting Sphyraena putnamae in the Red Sea.
Article in Parasitology research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Kudoa barracudai n. sp. has been found infecting the muscles of Sphyraena putnamae from Red Sea, Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of the infection was 10 % (5/50). Its ovoidal plasmodia encapsulated with fibrous connective tissue and measuring 700 × 510 μm. Local myolysis was observed around the plasmodia without inflammatory reaction. Mature spores were quadrate in the apical view with rounded edges and subspherical to ovoid in the side view and measured 5 μm (4.5-5.5) in width and 5.5 μm (5-6) in thickness. Polar capsules were pyriform, equal in size, and measured 2.5 μm (2-3) in length and 1.5 μm (1-2) in width with two filament coils. Ultrastructural analysis showed a demarcated border between the parasite cellular mass and host cellular components that represented the cyst wall, and cysts were filled with mostly mature spores. Phylogenetic analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approaches showed the new species clustered in a robust clade with Kudoa amamiensis, Kudoa kenti, and Kudoa quraishii. The SSU rRNA gene of K. barracudai was most similar to K. amamiensis (98.7 %), followed by K. kenti (97.4 %) and K. quraishii (96.6 %). This combination of morphological data and molecular analysis served to identify this parasite as a new species of Kudoa, which we have named K. barracudai n. sp.
