Record of Cryptosporidium serpentis from Goniurosaurus kuroiwae sengokui (Reptilia, Squamata, Eublepharidae) in Tokashikijima, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
Article in The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In reptiles, infection with Cryptosporidium parasite can be lethal, especially in species of family Eublepharidae such as Eublepharis macularius and Goniurosaurus splendes species. We investigated the presence of Cryptosporidium spp. in wild reptiles, especially Goniurosaurus spp., in five islands of Japan. Nested PCR was performed to detect Cryptosporidium spp. in 38 fecal samples of 9 reptile species from five islands of Japan, and 3 (3/8) positive samples of Goniurosaurus kuroiwae sengokui from Tokashikijima, Okinawa Prefecture were detected. A BLAST search of the detected gene sequences revealed that the all 3 samples were identified as Cryptosporidium serpentis, a reptile-specific Cryptosporidium parasite. This is the first record of Cryptosporidium from a wild Goniurosaurus species in Japan and worldwide.
