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

A new species of Chloromyxum Mingazzini, 1890, C. dasyatidis n. sp., is described from the gallbladder of the elasmobranch fish Dasyatis pastinaca (Linnaeus) from the Mediterranean coast off Tunisia. Mature myxospores were subspherical measuring 13.0 ± 0.3 (12.5-13.9) µm in length, 11.3 ± 0.5 (10.2-12.2) µm in width, and 11.8 ± 0.5 (11.4-12.7) µm in thickness. Four pyriform polar capsules 4.4 ± 0.3 (4.0-4.9) µm long and 3.5 ± 0.3 (3.0-3.8) µm wide. Valves were ornamented by 5 to 7 elevated surface ridges and displayed short caudal filaments. Chloromyxum dasyatidis n. sp. had an overall prevalence of infection of 38.5%, with significant seasonal variation, being more prevalent during summer (60.0%) and autumn (70.8%). Phylogenetically, this species grouped within the Chloromyxum sensu stricto lineage, forming a small clade together with the genetically more similar species C. acuminatum and C. myolibati, both from stingray hosts.
