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 new monozoic cestode, Parabreviscolex niepini n. gen. and n. sp. (Cestoda: Caryophyllidea), is described from the type-host Schizopygopsis younghusbandi Regan, 1905 (Cyprinidae: Schizothoracinae) and Schizothorax waltoni Regan, 1905 (Cyprinidae: Schizothoracinae) in the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the upper tributary of the Brahmaputra River on the Tibetan Plateau. The new genus is placed in the Capingentidae because the vitellarium is situated partly in the medullary and cortical parenchyma, i.e., neither completely external nor internal to inner longitudinal muscles. Parabreviscolex n. gen. is characterized by possessing an afossate and cuneiform scolex; numerous vitelline follicles and testes present immediately after the scolex, and spread backward near the cirrus sac; the uterus does not loop anterior to the cirrus sac; genital pores separate, opening to the common genital atrium; the pre-ovarian vitelline follicles lateral and median, post-ovarian vitelline follicles present; ovary H-shaped, compact, and ovarian arms long, anteriorly reaching the cirrus sac. Homology search by the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) showed that the partial 18S rDNA and complete mtDNA cox-1 sequences obtained in this report were not consistent with any sequences available in GenBank, and molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed Parabreviscolex formed a separated long branch within the caryophyllideans from cyprinids.
