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

Inadequate information exists on host-tapeworm parasite interactions in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell 1822). Hence, this study evaluated the natural C. gariepinus severely infected mildly infected, on histopathological features, intestine health, immunological and antioxidant response to cestode parasites infection (Polyonchobothrium clarias (Woodland, 1925) Meggitt, 1930, Proteocephalus sp.). The prevalence of cestodes was 80%, with 26 and 52% of these fish mildly and severely infected, respectively. The prevalence was positively correlated with turbidity (0.64), NO
