Sphaeromyxa cornuti n. sp., a New Species of Myxosporean Infecting the Gallbladder of the Moorish Idol, Zanclus cornutus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Lakshadweep Waters.

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
purposeThe present study describes a new species of myxosporean, Sphaeromyxa cornuti n. sp. infecting the gallbladder of the Moorish idol, Zanclus cornutus (Linnaeus 1758) collected from Lakshadweep waters of the Arabian Sea.
methodsFish were collected using traps and cages. The morphology of mature spores recovered from the gallbladder of Z. cornutus was studied under Nomarski Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) optics. The molecular and phylogenetic analyses were based on SSU rDNA.
resultsSphaeromyxa cornuti n. sp. is characterized by arcuate myxospores with tapering extremities and round ends in valvular, and slightly sigmoid in sutural views (19.2-24.7 µm × 4.1-5.7 µm). The two polar capsules are unequally elongate-ovoid in shape and positioned at opposite ends of the spore (6.2-9.7 µm × 1.7-2.6 µm). Each encloses an irregularly folded, ribbon-like polar tubule, which is oriented parallel to polar capsule axis. In molecular and phylogenetic analyses, the present myxosporean revealed significant differences with related forms and clustered together with S. hellandi within the 'incurvata' group of the Sphaeromyxa clade with high nodal support.
conclusionsMorphological, morphometric, molecular and phylogenetic differences between our material and previously described species of Sphaeromyxa, along with host and geographic variations indicate that the present myxosporean is unique and the name Sphaeromyxa cornuti n. sp. is proposed. This forms the first report of a myxosporean parasite-infecting Z. cornutus.
