Molecular identification of Sarcocystis lutrae (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) in muscles of five species of the family Mustelidae.
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Carnivores usually act as definitive hosts of Sarcocystis species. However, the number of reports on sarcocyst formation in musculature of predators is on the increase. In the present study, muscle samples of 68 mustelids collected in Lithuania were examined for sarcocysts of Sarcocystis species. Sarcocysts were detected in diaphragm, tongue and limb muscles of ten animals (14.7%) but were not discovered in the heart. Based on 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, cox1 and ITS1 sequence analysis, Sarcocystis lutrae was identified in three American minks (Neovison vison), two beech martens (Martes foina), three Eurasian badgers (Meles meles), one Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and one European polecat (Mustela putorius). The intraspecific variability of this Sarcocystis species was determined only in ITS1 region. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, no clear separation of S. lutrae by intermediate hosts or geographical locations was established. This paper represents the first identification of S. lutrae in the American mink, the beech marten and the European polecat. Current results indicate that S. lutrae is a common species in the muscles of various European mustelids.
