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
As chemotherapeutants used in control and treatment of monogeniosis can cause environmental damage and risks to human health, there is need of compounds alternatives effective and safe to this parasitosis. Essential oils are herbal compounds with good degradability in nature and effectiveness, and resistance absence that can be alternatives to chemotherapeutants. This study aimed to report the first trial on the effects of therapeutic baths with Piper callosum essential oil anti-monogeneans in fish. Colossoma macropomum (tambaqui) were subjected to six baths with 100 mg/L of P. callosum essential oil, each lasting 20 minutes per day (short duration), with 24-hour intervals between baths. Therapeutic baths demonstrated efficacy of 83.6% against monogeneans of tambaqui. Fish submitted to therapeutic baths had reduction statistically significant in the plasma levels of total proteins, similar to the control group exposed to water from culture tank + 70% alcohol. The toxicity of P. callosum essential oil was low as there were no significant blood or histopathological changes that compromised gill function in the treated fish. Due to high efficacy of 100 mg/L of P. callosum essential oil in controlling monogenean infestations, six short therapeutic baths on alternate days may be recommended as anti-monogeneans strategy for tambaqui.
