Opisthorchis viverrini Life Cycle, Distribution, Systematics, and Population Genetics.
Article in Recent results in cancer research. Fortschritte der Krebsforschung. Progres dans les recherches sur le cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Opisthorchis viverrini plays a key role as the carcinogenic liver fluke causing bile duct cancer in Southeast Asia. A comprehensive understanding of its life cycle, distribution, systematics, and population genetics is critically important as they underpin the effective development and establishment of future prevention and control programs that center on opisthorchiasis and cholangiocarcinoma. This chapter provides detailed information concerning the basic biology and updated information of O. viverrini related to its host life cycle, transmission route via raw, partially cooked or fermented freshwater cyprinid fish, endemic areas, and the discovery of new foci. Previous sequential studies over the last two decades on the phylogenetic and systematic relationships, genetic variation, and population genetics of O. viverrini as well as its snail intermediate host Bithynia spp. are presented and discussed, which have led to the currently known complex species level systematics and population genetics framework of this host-parasite system. Additionally, further directions for comprehensive research are suggested to provide a more complete understanding of liver fluke, O. viverrini-related cholangiocarcinoma.
