New molecular and morphological data for opecoelid digeneans in two Mediterranean sparid fishes with descriptions of Macvicaria gibsoni n. sp. and M. crassigula (Linton, 1910) (sensu stricto).

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
Molecular and morphological data were gathered for specimens of species of Macvicaria Gibson & Bray, 1982 and Pseudopycnadena Saad-Fares & Maillard, 1986 (Digenea: Opecoelidae) collected from two sparid fishes, Diplodus vulgaris (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire) and Sparus aurata L., off the Algerian coast of the Western Mediterranean. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and partial 28S rDNA sequences provided evidence for the distinct species status of eight Mediterranean species of Macvicaria. Novel molecular data are provided for four species, M. gibsoni n. sp. and M. crassigula (Linton, 1910) (sensu stricto) based on specimens from D. vulgaris, and M. mormyri (Stossich, 1885) and M. maamouriae Antar, Georgieva, Gargouri & Kostadinova, 2015 based on specimens from S. aurata; descriptions of the molecular voucher material of the former three species are provided. Two species were delineated within the "crassigula" species complex of Macvicaria, M. gibsoni n. sp. and M. crassigula (s. str.), the distinctive differentiating features being the distribution of the dorsal vitelline fields in the forebody, confluent in M. gibsoni n. sp. and non-confluent in M. crassigula (s. str.), and the molecular data for both markers. Sequences associated with morphological description are also provided for the type-species of Pseudopycnadena, P. fischthali Saad-Fares & Maillard, 1986, based on material from D. vulgaris.
