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

Dirofilaria repens is a filarial nematode which cause subcutaneous dirofilariosis. Dogs, foxes and cats are the definitive hosts and principal reservoirs of the parasite. We report cases of D. repens infestation in non-descript canines from Goa, India. The nematodes were enclosed within fibrous capsule or freely present in the tunica vaginalis of the testes, in sub-cutaneous tissue of foreleg and body cavity. The parasite showed well-developed thick multilayered cuticular ridges in the outermost layer, followed by transverse smooth muscles striations.
