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

purposeThe present study aims to report zoonotic parasites in Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828), acquired in a fish market in the Peruvian Amazon.

methodsForty specimens of H. littorale with an average size of 12.3 ± 2.5 cm and weight 58.3 ± 10 g were acquired in the "Santa Clara" Market, in the city of Iquitos, Loreto-Peru. Fish samples were taken alive, placed in plastic bags with water, and transported to the laboratory of "Parasitologia y Sanidad Acuicola" of "Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia Peruana" in Iquitos, Peru for analyses.

resultsTwo groups of endoparasites were identified: Trematoda, with specimens of Clinostomum sp. parasitizing the musculature and skin, and Nematoda, with specimens of Eustrongylides sp. parasitizing the intestine.

conclusionsThe findings of the present study constitute a health risk in the event of accidental ingestion of any of these parasites. Socialization campaigns on the dangers of raw or undercooked fish consumption should be implemented by the competent authorities to guarantee the health of the Amazonian population.
