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

Parasites remainunderstudied members of most ecosystems, especially free-living infectious stages, such as the aquatic cercariae of trematodes (flatworms). Recent studies are shedding more light on their roles, particularly as prey for a diverse array of aquatic predators, but the possible fates of cercariae remain unclear. While this is critical to elucidate because cercariae represent a large potential source of energy and nutrients, determining the fate of cercariae-derived organic matter involves many logistical challenges. Previous studies utilized elemental and stable isotope analysis when examining host-parasite interactions, but none has used such approaches to track the movement of cercariae biomass within food webs. Here we report that Plagiorchis sp. cercariae were effectively labelled with
