Morphological and molecular description of Myxobolus batalhensis n. sp. (Myxozoa, Myxosporea), a liver and ovary parasite of Salminus hilarii in Brazil.
Article in Parasitology research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Plasmodia containing myxospores belonging to the genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 were found in the ovaries and liver of Salminus hilarii. Despite its economic value, this fish host has no previous reports of myxozoan infections. Herein, we describe Myxobolus batalhensis n. sp. using morphological and ultrastructural data, as well as histological and SSU rDNA molecular data. The mature myxospores were elongated, measuring in average 15.2 ± 0.8 μm in length, 8.4 ± 0.4 μm in width, and 5.1 ± 0.2 μm in thickness. Polar capsules were elongated and measured 5.3 ± 0.3 μm in length and 2.8 ± 0.3 μm in width. Polar filaments had 6-9 coils. Histopathological analysis showed coagulation necrosis associated with cell lysis as a response of the host cell to the parasite in the ovaries. No inflammatory reaction was observed in the liver, although the presence of the plasmodia caused changes in tissue structure. The phylogenetic analysis of South American myxobolid species showed M. batalhensis n. sp. as sister species of Myxobolus aureus. This is the first report of a myxozoan species parasitizing S. hilarii and the first myxozoan species described in the Batalha river.
