A historical overview of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection from specimens at the National Zoological Collection Suriname.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the pathogenetic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has become one of the major contributors to global amphibian population declines and extinctions. This fungus has spread globally and has caused mortalities in nearly every continent. In South America, Suriname, Guyana and Paraguay are among the remaining three countries where Bd has not been detected to date. To complete the assessment of the possible presence of Bd in Suriname, 205 specimens from the Zoological Collection of Suriname, compromising 6 frog families and 15 genera were sampled for chytrid fungus. No specimens were found to be infected by this fungus and as such the outcome strengthens the previous result of field sampling that there is no support that Bd has spread to Suriname.
