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 species of microphallid trematode was collected from the intestine of the yellow-crowned night heron Nyctanassa violacea (L.) (Pelecaniformes: Ardeidae) from Veracruz, Mexico. Maritrema kostadinovae n. sp. differs distinctly from other members of Maritrema Nicoll, 1907 from the Americas by its smaller body size (262-435 × 242-363 μm), the extension of caeca (reaching to anterior level of ventral sucker), the size and shape of the cirrus (short, tubular and unarmed) and metraterm (simple and thin-walled), the position of the genital pore (sinistrolateral to ventral sucker) and the arrangement of the vitellaria (horseshoe-shaped with posteriorly directed opening). Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses, based on partial 28S rDNA sequences, depicted M. kostadinovae n. sp. within the genus Maritrema with strong support. The new species is in a sister position to other available members of Maritrema, except for M. subdolum Jägerskiöld, 1909 that branches as the early divergent species in the Maritrema clade. The new species is the third species of Maritrema described from birds in Mexico. Comparative morphometric data for Maritrema taxa from birds and mammals from the Americas is provided.
