Decreased embryo implantation in rabbits infected with Taenia pisiformis.
Article in Parasitology research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Parasitic infections can have detrimental effects on the reproductive capacity of their hosts. Infections by the cestode Taenia pisiformis in rabbits is generally not associated with increased mortality of offspring or with loss of maternal body condition but can result in reduced fecundity, and increased circulating progesterone levels have been reported in infected does compared to uninfected ones. In the present study, the possibility that T. pisiformis infection affects fecundity by reducing embryonic implantation was examined. Seven anesthetized New Zealand does were orally infected with 1000 eggs of T. pisiformis, and seven were administered saline. Seven weeks after infection, does were mated, and 7 days after, humanely sacrificed. A decrease in the number of implanted embryos and a decrease in the size of the embryo vesicles in infected does were observed (P ≤ 0.02, Student's t-test). There was a negative correlation between the number of hepatic granulomas and embryo implantation (ρ = - 0.8, P = 0.04, Spearman's test).
