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

Parapharyngodon spp. are nematodes parasites of amphibian and reptiles worldwide distributed. Of 55 valid species, only 11 are known for the Neotropical realm, and six were found parasitizing hylid frogs in the world. In the present work, we describe a new species of Parapharyngodon from the large intestine of Osteocephalus taurinus from Reserva de Desenvolvimento Mamirauá, Amazonas, Brazil, using light and scanning electron microscopy. Parapharyngodon curupira n. sp. is allocated to the group of species with three pairs of cloacal papillae. However, it shows a set of different morphological characters compared to its congeners. In the new species, males have gubernaculum and smooth cloacal lip, females have pre-bulbar ovaries, and we also observed some morphometric differences. Among Parapharyngodon spp. from the Neotropical realm, the new taxon resembles P. alverangai and P. politoedi. The last species was described from the same host and biome (Amazon); however, they can be easily distinguished from new species by the presence of gubernaculum and v-shape structure at the lower caudal lip. Thus, we characterize and propose a new species of Parapharyngodon from the western amazon.
