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
Two species of Pseudodiscocotyla Yamaguti, 1965 (Monogenea: Discocotylidae) were collected from crimson jobfish Pristipomoides filamentosus (Valenciennes) (Perciformes: Lutjanidae) off Okinawa-jima island, southern Japan. Pseudodiscocotyla opakapaka is redescribed and represents the first Japanese record. A new species, Pseudodiscocotyla mikiae n. sp., differs from Ps. opakapaka in the absence of spines around the male genital pore, the shape of the vaginal pore, the presence of spines inside the vaginal pore, and the shape of the clamp. The locations of the male genital atrium and the vaginal pore in both species were similar, and the observed armament differences of the male copulatory organ are therefore presumed to establish reproductive isolation. The phylogenetic trees for the Mazocraeidea based on the partial 28S rDNA sequences were created using new sequences of Pseudodiscocotyla mikiae n. sp., and Discocotylidae formed a sister group with the species Diclidophoridae, Macrovalvitrematidae, and Plectanocotylidae. Pristipomoides filamentosus is widely distributed across the Indo-Pacific, and Pseudodiscocotyla mikiae n. sp. could share the distribution of the host.
