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

Saprolegniasis, caused by Saprolegnia spp., is one of the most lethal oomycete infections affecting freshwater fish. This study investigated a severe fungal infection in Channa punctata (n = 150) fish obtained from a pen culture in the Tanguar haor region of the Sunamganj District. The infection was identified by its characteristic fluffy white appearance, with fungal hyphae detected in multiple organs. Diagnosis was confirmed as Saprolegnia spp. through clinical signs and wet mount examination. Infected fish exhibited notable symptoms, including drowsiness, head-down floating, cloudy eyes, skin burns and deep lesions, with broken caudal fins in some cases. The infection prevalence was calculated at 85%. For further growth analysis, Czapek-Dox agar (CDA) medium was used to culture fungal hyphae. The average weight and length of the fish were 74.41 ± 1.32 g and 14.38 ± 0.84 cm, respectively. Subsequently, 120 infected fish were allocated into 4 treatment groups, each placed in glass aquaria (90 × 45 × 45 cm
