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
Seven species of puffers of the genus Takifugu caught in Japanese waters were examined for monogeneans on the gills. Five new species of Heterobothrium (H. gotoi n. sp. from T. porphyreus, H. tabetai n. sp. from T. vermicularis, H. aljufailiae n. sp. and H. iwatai n. sp. from T. snyderi, H. matsubarai n. sp. from T. stictonotus) and two known species (H. praeorchis Bychowsky, Mamaev & Nagibina, 1976 from T. pardalis, T. chrysops and T. flavipterus and H. bychowskyi Ogawa, 1991 from T. flavipterus) were found and described. Heterobothrium tetrodonis of Iwata (1991) was synonymized with H. bychowskyi. Currently, a total of 11 species of Heterobothrium, including the seven species in this study, were recorded from nine species of Japanese Takifugu spp. Ten species excluding H. praeorchis were found from a single host species, suggesting that they are highly host-specific and have co-evolved with the host Takifugu spp. Tagia Sproston, 1946 is synonymized with Heterobothrium. Earlier divergence of Heterobothrium of tetraodontid puffers in Diclidophoridae was suggested by the large subunit ribosomal DNA (rDNA) analyses, and interspecific relationships in this genus inferred from the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA well corresponded to those inferred from their morphology and adhesive mode to the gills. Including the five new species and synonymization of Tagia with Heterobothrium, the genus Heterobothrium now comprises 19 species.
