Descriptions of Three New Species and New Host or Distribution Records of Five Species of the Genus Kudoa (Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Multivalvulida) in Commercial Fishes Collected from South China Sea.

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
purposeMyxosporeans of the genera Kudoa and Unicapsula (Cnidaria: Myxozoa: Myxosporea: Multivalvulida) may be causative agents of diseases that substantially lower the commercial value of certain marine fishes; thus, species identification is important to effectively manage outbreaks and control infections. METHODS AND
resultsOur investigations of commercial fishes in the families Leiognathidae (three species), Ambassidae (one), Carangidae (five) and Gerreidae (one) in the South China Sea revealed new host records for Kudoa lutjanus (Ambassis martanus, and Gerres limbattus), Kudoa trachuri (Decapterus maruadsi, and Decapterus macrosoma), Kudoa uncinata (Photopectoralis bindus), and Kudoa longichorda (D. macrosoma) and new geographical distribution records for Kudoa javanensis (Alepes djedaba), K. trachuri, and K. longichorda. Moreover, three new Kudoa spp. were described based on detected specimens forming pseudocysts in trunk muscle myofibres. These included Kudoa corniculata n. sp. from Eubleekeria jonesi, and Leiognathus equulus; Kudoa hirsuta n. sp. from Trachurus japonicas, D. maruadsi, and D. macrosoma; and Kudoa parvibulvosa n. sp. from Megalaspis cordyla. To identify these species, their myxospores were morphologically and molecularly characterised based on the small and large subunits of their ribosomal RNA genes.
conclusionsIn this study, we demonstrated morphometric variations in the myxospores of various species and an atypical K. uncinata morphotype with unequal polar capsules. Hence, taxonomic identification of myxosporeans require molecular characterisation.
