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

Parasitic diseases pose a threat to fisheries, negatively affecting the livelihood and food security of billions of people worldwide. Among these, parasitic isopods of fish are not well documented and studied. Thus, we examined the buccal cavity of 385 randomly selected saltwater fishes sold in a fish market in Naic, Cavite, Philippines. Here, 7/385 (1.82%) saltwater fishes, exclusively Trichiurus lepturus, harbored a parasitic isopod. Morphological observation and sequencing analysis of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and 16S rRNA genes confirmed the identity as Lobothorax typus. Phylogenetic tree based on these sequences showed that it is closely related to isolates from India and Japan. As such, further studies on the risk factors associated with L. typus infestation are urgently needed.
