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
The genus Lappetascaris is a poorly known ascaridoid group. In the present study, the detailed morphology of the type species of Lappetascaris, L. lutjani, was further studied using light and scanning electron microscopy, based on the newly collected specimens from a new host Ilisha compressa Randall (Clupeiformes: Pristigasteridae) in the Persian Gulf off Iraq. Some previously unreported morphological features of taxonomic significance were observed, including the vulva with swollen lips, the egg with thick shell, the precloacal papillae being 10-14 pairs and the large mastoid phasmids in the female. A broad range of morphometric variability in the lengths of body, oesophagus, intestinal caecum and spicules was found among different individuals from different fish hosts and localities. Moreover, the validity of L. chandipurensis Gupta & Masoodi, 1990 and L. suraiyae Kalyankar, 1975 was discussed, which should be considered as synonyms of L. lutjani. Lappetascaris lutjani was reported from the Iraq waters for the first time.
