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 caryophyllidean tapeworms (Cestoda) of the genus Isoglaridacris Mackiewicz, 1965 are revised on the basis of the study of type specimens and newly collected material from suckers (Cypriniformes: Catostomidae) in North America. Molecular data reveal the presence of 14 lineages, each representing a separate species. An overview of all nominal species is provided, with updated information on their hosts, distribution and phylogenetic relationships. Isoglaridacris multivitellaria Amin, 1976 is excluded from Isoglaridacris, but its generic affiliation remains unclear, and it is considered incertae sedis. Homeomorpha mackiewiczi Dutton et Barger, 2014 from Minytrema melanops is transferred to Isoglaridacris as I. mackiewiczi (Dutton et Barger, 2014) new combination. Based on molecular and morphological data, four new species are described: Isoglaricris mattisi n. sp. from Moxostoma collapsum in South Carolina, USA, I. mcallisteri n. sp. from Erimyzon claviformis in Arkansas and Oklahoma, USA, I. mexicanus n. sp. from Moxostoma cf. austrinum in Chihuahua, Mexico, and I. floriani n. sp. from M. macrolepidotum in South Carolina. A key to the identification of all 16 valid species is provided. Isoglaridacris species exhibit strict host specificity, with most species parasitising only a single host species (strict specialists), while a few species occur in more than one species within the same host genus (congeneric specialists). The distribution range of Isoglaridacris species includes southern Canada, the United States and northwestern (nearctic) Mexico.
