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

The yellow bullhead, Ameiurus natalis (Lesueur) is a moderately-sized member of the catfish family Ictaluridae Gill with a fairly large North American distribution. Between March and December 2021 and again between March 2022 and March 2023, 37 A. natalis specimens were collected from watersheds in Arkansas (n = 30) and Oklahoma (n = 7), USA, and their gills, gallbladders, urinary bladders, fins, integument, other major organs, and musculature were examined for myxosporeans. The gallbladder of a single individual yellow bullhead from Sevier County, Arkansas, USA, was infected with a novel myxosporean, Myxidium horatioense n. sp. and an unknown species of myxosporean. Qualitative and quantitative morphological data were from ethanol-preserved myxospores of M. horatioense n. sp. Molecular data consisted of 1,846 and 844 base pair sequences of the partial small subunit ribosomal RNA gene for M. horatioense n. sp. and an unidentified myxosporean, respectively. This is the first report of any member of the genus Myxidium from A. natalis.
