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

In a parasitological survey of freshwater fishes near Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India, myxozoan infections in Pabdah catfish Ompok pabda Ham. (Siluriformes: Siluridae) were found. Round plasmodia and scattered spores of Myxobolus ompok n. sp. were found in the kidney of the host. Plasmodia measuring 150-200 μm were located in the renal interstitium. Spores of Myxobolus ompok n. sp. were elongated pyriform, 13.6-14.4 (14.8 ± 0.42) μm long, 5.6-6.4 (6.5 ± 0.33) μm wide, and 5.2-6.4 (5.9 ± 0.43) μm thick with two equal polar capsules measuring 8.0-8.5 (8.2 ± 0.2) μm in length and 1.5-2.4 (1.8 ± 0.33) in width having six filamental turns. Both the morphology and DNA analysis of the 18S rRNA gene revealed that Myxobolus ompok n. sp. is distinct from previously described species of Myxobolus and shares no significant similarity with any other Myxobolus deposited in the GenBank database. Phylogenetic analysis inferred that this species showed the closest similarity to Myxobolus miyarii (KT001495). This is the first record of any Myxobolus sp. from O. pabda in India.
