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
Extensive sampling to get rich data is very important to resolve the current taxonomic problem of Chloromyxum genus and elucidate the nature phylogenetic relationships among congeneric species. During the parasitological survey of cyprinid fish in Gulf of Finland off the coast of St. Petersburg, a new Chloromyxum species, named as Chloromyxum peleci sp. n., was found to infect the gall bladder of sichel, Pelecus cultratus (L.). Here, we provided the morphological, ultrastructural, and molecular features to describe it. Infection was represented by mono- or disporic plasmodia and mature free-floating spores in the gall bladder. Mature spores are typical of freshwater Chloromyxum species, spherical or subspherical in lateral view, measuring 8.8 ± 0.5 μm (7.4-9.5) in length, 7.8 ± 0.3 μm (7.0-8.8) in width, and 7.5 ± 0.4 μm (6.8-8.2) in thickness. Spores have a cog-like appearance in apical view for sutural ridge, and eight to ten widely spaced extrasutural ridges per valve protrude from the spore valve margin. The surface ridge patterns of the new species are similar with those of Chloromyxum auratum and Chloromyxum cristatum, with some branching. Four polar capsules of slightly unequal in two pairs were oval in apical view and pyriform in side view, locating at the anterior end of the spores. Polar filaments coil with four to five turns. The obtained almost full length of 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of Ch. peleci sp. n. does not match any sequences available in GenBank but was most closely related to that of Chloromyxum fluviatile (97.9%). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Ch. peleci sp. n. clustered in a Chloromyxum subclade infecting the gall bladder of freshwater teleost, with robust nodal support. However, Chloromyxum sensu lato infecting gall bladder of freshwater teleost was again proved to be polyphyletic. The possible evolutionary history of Chloromyxum morphotype of Chloromyxum sensu lato was discussed based on the rDNA-referred phylogeny. This is the second Chloromyxum species from sichel.
