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

Brucethoa isro n. sp., a new species of deep-sea cymothoid is described and illustrated from the host fish Spinyjaw greeneye, Chlorophthalmus corniger Alcock, 1894, at depths of 265 to 458 metres from the southwest coast of India. Brucethoa isro n. sp. is recovered from the base of the gill cavity, facing the head towards the anterior, and the dorsal body closely adpressed against the gill, while the ventral brood presses against the inner wall of the operculum. Brucethoa isro n. sp., the second species of the genus, is characterized by: head weakly immersed in pereonite 1, very elongated body (3.15 times as long as wide); body dorsum not vaulted, almost flat; all coxae short, 0.5 times as the length of corresponding pereonites; sternite 7 with prominent posterior lobes. All adult life stages of the new species are described [including females (ovigerous and non-ovigerous), males, transitional, and juvenile. The species is currently known from the southwest coast of India and is the type locality. Additionally, this research provides valuable ecological insights into Brucethoa isro n. sp. and its habitat. As part of the taxonomic contributions, two species, Brucethoa alvaradoensis (Rocha-Ramírez, Chávez-López & Bruce, 2005) comb. n. and Brucethoa epinepheli (Trilles & Justine, 2010) comb. n., are transferred from the Elthusa genus to the Brucethoa genus.
