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

Social networks influence the spread of parasites through populations. Although we know how parasites are transmitted as a product of social interactions, we have a limited understanding of how social networks are affected by parasites over time. Host-parasite interactions and the networks they form, are typically examined as static networks, and while topological descriptions at a specific time point are useful, both behaviour and the infection process are dynamic. By monitoring replicate populations of Trinidadian guppies (
