Cercarial emergence patterns for Opisthorchis viverrini sensu lato infecting Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos from Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand.
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 9 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
unlabelledOpisthorchis viverrini sensu lato is a food-borne trematode which is classified as a class 1 carcinogen, with infection potentially leading to cholangiocarcinoma. Snails of the genus Bithynia act as the first intermediate hosts and an amplifying point in the parasite life cycle. In order to investigate seasonal effect on transmission dynamics of O. viverrini in Bithynia siamensis goniomphalos, cercarial emergence and output profiles were monitored at different season. A total of 4533 snails originating from Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand, collected during the three main seasons, were analyzed for O. viverrini s.l. INFECTION: Emergence of O. viverrini s.l. cercariae from snails was monitored daily from 06:00 to 18:00 h for seven consecutive days. The prevalence of infection in the snails was highest in the hot-dry season and declined in the rainy and cool-dry seasons. Peak cercarial emergence occurred between 08:00 and 10:00 h during the rainy and cool-dry seasons and between 10:00 and 12:00 h during the hot-dry season. The cercarial output was highest in the hot-dry season, similar to a previous study from Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). Average cercarial output/snail in Thailand was higher than in Lao PDR. The number of cercariae emerging from the snails was strongly related to snail size, but the relationship between prevalence of infection and snail size differed between seasons. Observed discrepancies in the emergence patterns and per capita cercarial release may reflect differences in environmental, snail, and/or parasite factors particularly biological characteristics between the cryptic species of O. viverrini s.l. and B. s. goniomphalos from Thailand and Lao PDR.
