Novel gene arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Aspersentis megarhynchus (Acanthocephala, Echinorhynchida, Heteracanthocephalidae), and its phylogenetic implications.
Article in Parasite (Paris, France), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The Heteracanthocephalidae Petrochenko, 1956 is a rare family of acanthocephalans mainly parasitic in fishes. The pattern of mitogenomic evolution of the Heteracanthocephalidae is still unknown, and the phylogenetic relationships of the Heteracanthocephalidae with the other 14 families within the order Echinorhynchida remain unclear. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Aspersentis megarhynchus (von Linstow, 1892) Golvan, 1960 was sequenced and annotated for the first time, which represents the first mitogenomic data for the genus Aspersentis and also for the family Heteracanthocephalidae. The mitogenome of A. megarhynchus has 14,661 bp and includes 36 genes, containing 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) (missing atp8), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNAs (rrnS and rrnL), plus two non-coding regions. Comparative mitochondrial genomic analysis revealed that the presence of translocations of several tRNA genes (trnV, trnE, and trnT) and the gene arrangement in the mitogenome of A. megarhynchus represents a new type in Acanthocephala. Moreover, the mitogenomic phylogenetic results based on concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 protein-coding genes strongly supported the validity of the Heteracanthocephalidae and suggested close affinity between the Heteracanthocephalidae and Echinorhynchidae in the order Echinorhynchida.
