Ocular thelaziosis due Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida: Thelaziidae) in Romania: first report in domestic cat and new geographical records of canine cases.
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
Thelazia callipaeda has been regarded in Europe in the last few decades as a "new" agent of an ocular disease in dogs, cats, several wild species, and not least in humans. After the first European description in Italy, in 1989, the parasite has been reported in many other countries, showing a widespread distribution of this parasite. The first case of canine thelaziosis in Romania has been reported in 2015, and it has been followed by other studies confirming the presence of the nematode in dogs or broadening the host spectrum with some wild carnivore species that have been found positive. Despite being considered suitable primary hosts for T. callipaeda, infection with T. callipaeda in domestic cat is rarely reported in Europe, probably due to some behavioral and physical particularities of this host. This study describes the first autochthonous report of T. callipaeda infection in a domestic cat from Romania. Additionally, to these findings, new geographical records of canine thelaziosis are being revealed, confirming the increased risk of this emerging vector-borne zoonosis.
