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

Deer louse flies (Lipoptena spp.) are hematophagous ectoparasites of cervids. The genus Lipoptena comprises 32 species, some of which are of veterinary importance as vectors of various pathogens, and are also known to attack human hosts. Recently, deer louse flies have been observed during annual checkups of captive cervids at Khon Kaen Zoo in Khon Kaen, Thailand. However, data on their specific identity and prevalence remain limited. This study aims to identify louse fly samples from captive cervids at Khon Kaen Zoo using morphological and molecular analyses. A total of 60 louse flies were collected from 17 captive cervids and identified based on their morphology. Major morphological characteristics, including mesothoracic bristle patterns, abdominal tergal plate bristles, and terminalia structure indicated that the Khon Kaen louse fly is Lipoptena axis Maa, 1965. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences from a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was performed, which confirmed that L. axis of this study belongs to the cervi group, which is distinct from other groups of Lipoptena species. This study represents the first report of L. axis in Thailand. We provide an updated taxonomic key for the identification of Lipoptena species in the cervi group.
