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
Trochopus martydeveneyi n. sp., a large, elegant species is described from the dorsal surface of the pectoral fins of captive Cape gurnard, Chelidonichthys capensis (Cuvier), at Two Oceans Aquarium, Cape Town, originally collected from Table Bay, South Africa in 2007. The host microhabitat for T. martydeveneyi n. sp. is uncharacteristic for Trochopus species, which are generally known from the gills, and less so from the skin of the body of their hosts. This new species is unique among the known Trochopus species, possessing a large, dark-staining gland on each of the two testes, presumably to produce the contents of the spermatophore plug that is visible in the vagina of two specimens. Two separate individual specimens of T. martydeveneyi n. sp. also presented with unilateral testicular atrophy, which is apparently rare in the Monogenea but considered a natural occurrence. Egg hatching and larval haptoral morphology are also provided. Trochopus lawleri n. sp. is proposed for Trochopus hobo sensu Lawler and Hargis (1968) from the gills of Chelidonichthys kumu (Cuvier) off Australia, and the monotypic Trochopella Euzet & Trilles, 1962 is synonymised with Trochopus Diesing, 1850. The generic diagnosis is revised for Trochopus to incorporate new data, and information previously excluded.
