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
purposeA new monogenean Microcotyle justinei n. sp. (Monogenea: Microcotylidae) is described based on specimens found on the gill filaments of the cardinal fish Apogon imberbis (Apogonidae) off the Algerian coast of the Western Mediterranean.
methodsMonogeneans were examined, measured and drawn for a comparative morphological study with other species of Microcotyle and characterised molecularly using a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene. The identification of fish was confirmed by molecular barcoding using the cox1 gene.
resultsThe new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus by a combination of features, such as the number and size of the clamps, the shape and size of the genital atrium and the number of testes. The molecular analysis of the cox1 gene sequences showed that interspecific differences between Microcotyle justinei n. sp. and published sequences of Microcotyle spp. was greater than 8.8%, strongly suggesting that the new species is distinct from other congeners with sequences available on GenBank.
conclusionThe morphological and molecular analyses support the status of M. justinei as a new species. The present finding extends the list of Microcotyle spp. to 72.
