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

A novel myxosporean species, Ceratomyxa azevedoi sp. n. is described from the gallbladder of the blackspot snapper, Lutjanus ehrenbergii (Peters), captured from the Arabian Gulf off Saudi Arabia. A total of 45 (26.8%) out of 168 fish specimens were found to be infected with Ceratomyxa azevedoi sp. n., the highest prevalence being observed in winter (42.9%, 18/42) and the lowest in autumn (11.9%, 5/42). Mature spores appeared as crescent to slightly elliptical-shaped, measuring 5-7 (6) μm in length and 12 (10-14) μm in thickness, with spherical polar capsules containing three polar filament coils. The morphometric and morphological comparison with similar species revealed the taxonomic novelty of this form, suggesting that it should be considered as new species. The phylogenetic analysis of C. azevedoi sp. n., based on partial SSU rDNA sequences, revealed close genetic relatedness to C. buri with 91.3% homogeneity and to C. hamour, with 90.1% homogeneity.
