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 the present study, we described a new species of Myxidium Bütschli, 1882, obtained from the gallbladder of Spinibarbus sinensis (Bleeker, 1871) from the Jialing River in Chongqing, China. Myxidium spinibarba sp. nov. was identified based on morphological and SSU rDNA sequence data. The mature myxospores were fusiform in valvular view and ovoid in sutural view, with somewhat protrusive poles and mean dimensions (all in μm) of 11.8 ± 0.5 (10.6-12.4) in length and 6.1 ± 0.5 (5.5-7.2) in width. The polar capsules were pyriform and equal in size with mean dimensions of 3.6 ± 0.4 (3.0-4.4) in length and 3.0 ± 0.2 (2.7-3.2) in width. The new species was distinct from related species of Myxidium in its morphology and molecular characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis indicated the clustering of species based on the presence or absence of valvular striations. Moreover, myxospore morphology, rather than the host environment, played an important role in the partial phylogenetic clustering.
