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

Eimeria ovata Duncan, 1968 is redescribed from 2 of 39 (5%) gray-collared chipmunks Neotamias cinereicollis Allen in Arizona, USA. Sporulated oöcysts of this species are ovoidal, 26.3 × 20.3 (23-28 × 16-22) µm, with a length/width ratio of 1.4 (1.2-1.6), a pitted, bi-layered wall, and 0-2 polar granules; oöcyst residuum and micropyle are absent. Sporocysts are ovoidal, 13.3 × 8.2 (12-15 × 7-9) µm, with a length/width ratio of 1.7 (1.6-1.0), a Stieda body, and sporocyst residuum; sporozoites contain a posterior refractile body. The measurements and structural features of these oöcysts are similar to those reported for E. ovata described from the eastern chipmunk Tamias striatus. This is a new geographic record for this coccidian and the first report to include photomicrographs of its sporulated oöcyst.
