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

Ceratomyxa marginati n. sp. and C. aenei n. sp. are two new coelozoic myxosporean species infecting the gallbladder of the dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) and the white grouper (Epinephelus aeneus), respectively. These two ceratomyxids were described using morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of the SSU rDNA. Ceratomyxa marginati n. sp. exhibits disporic plasmodia measuring 12-14 µm long and 11-12 µm wide and mature myxospores which are slightly crescent-shaped, measuring 6.0 ± 0.3 (5.6-6.8) µm in length and 12.9 ± 0.9 (11.5-14.0) μm in thickness. Plasmodia of C. aenei n. sp. were disporic and ellipsoidal and measured 28-32 μm in length and 19-22 μm in width. Mature myxospores of C. aenei n. sp. were elongated with unequal shell valves and measured 7.4 ± 0.6 (6.9-9.0) μm in length and 26.9 ± 2.4 (23.2-30.0) μm in thickness. Based on the SSU rDNA sequences, Ceratomyxa marginati n. sp. and C. aenei n. sp. are distinct from all other Ceratomyxa sequences available in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the two new species branched together within a clade with other Ceratomyxa species from different host families and different geographical localities with maximum support (100%).
