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 clausidiid copepod was found associated with the ghost shrimp Neocallichirus jousseaumei (Nobili) in the Persian Gulf, on the Iranian coast. The new species shares the armature formula of swimming legs 2 to 4 with C. persiaensis, but can be easily distinguished from its congeners by unique characteristics of the females: the prominent spine on endopodal segment 1 of the antenna, the armature of the maxilliped, and the elongated basis of the swimming legs. Distinguishing features observed in males include the distinct projections on the maxilliped and the armature of legs 1 and 4. In addition to traditional light microscopy-based descriptions, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to obtain high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions of entire copepods. Structures of taxonomic importance that exhibit complex shapes (male maxilliped and female urosome) were scanned to generate 3-D prints that gave valuable insights about female/male interlocking mechanisms. The taxonomic status and host specificity of Clausidium spp. are discussed and a key to valid species is provided.
