On the diversity and clinical importance of Acanthamoeba spp. from Group 1.
Article in Parasitology research, 2021. 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
Group 1 acanthamoebae are morphologically and phylogenetically distinct from all other Acanthamoeba species. They include five species, each labelled by its genotype: A. astronyxis (T7), A. tubiashi (T8), A. comandoni (T9), unnamed Acanthamoeba sp. (T17), and A. byersi (T18). Thought only environmental, they have recently attracted attention due to their recovery in cases of human keratitis and encephalitis, the main diseases caused by Acanthamoeba, where the usual causative agents are mainly species of Groups 2 and 3. Analysis of the available data confirms the pathogenic importance of these species, although it is probably minor compared to that of the species in Groups 2 and 3. In addition, it should be noted that there are difficulties in identifying genotypes by widely used molecular methods, and some misidentifications are revealed.
