The host age related occurrence of Alaria alata in wild canids in Latvia.
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 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The trematode Alaria alata has a complex life cycle in which carnivore mammals may become infected by feeding on mesocercariae-infected, second intermediate hosts or paratenic hosts. Afterwards, young flukes migrate through various organs of the definitive host, including the diaphragm and the lungs, before reaching the small intestine. The aim of the present study was to establish the prevalence and infection intensity of A. alata in carnivore mammals, the host age and related occurrence of different A. alata development stages in particular animals in Latvia. Overall, samples from 992 animals (539 red foxes, 411 raccoon dogs and 42 grey wolves) were examined using sedimentation and counting techniques to observe the presence of A. alata metacercariae and adult trematodes in each particular host. The present study, based on data collected over five hunting seasons (2010/2011-2014/2015), is a comprehensive study on the circulation of A. alata in wild canids in Latvia. A. alata was present in all species examined and the overall prevalence reached 86.2%. A significant positive correlation was observed between the burden of A. alata metacercariae and adult trematodes in raccoon dogs (r
