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

The genus Myxobolus Bütschli, 1882 is the largest group within the class Myxosporea and includes 905 nominal species, 18 of which have been found to infect fish belonging to the family Salmonidae. In the present study, microscopic analysis enabled detection of myxospores in 43 of 613 (7.0%) gastrointestinal tracts from brown trout (Salmo trutta) captured in several rivers in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Measurement of the whole myxospores, polar capsules and other morphological characteristics, together with identification of the site of infection, has led us to propose a novel salmonid-myxobolid species, Myxobolus compostellanus n. sp. Molecular analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU-rRNA) gene yielded the same consensus sequence of 2039 bp in 14 fish specimens. A BLAST search indicated 97.6% similarity to Myxobolus neurobius. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that M. compostellanus n. sp. is clustered with other salmonid-infecting myxobolids. The present findings contribute to the existing knowledge about the genus Myxobolus, providing both morphological and molecular data on a novel species of Myxobolus found to infect the gastrointestinal tract of salmonids, M. compostellanus n. sp. in the brown trout (S. trutta).
