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

Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida, syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) is a significant pathogen causing scuticociliatosis in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea and Japan. In this study, the BB19 strain, isolated from olive flounder, was identified as M. avidus through phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) sequences and classified as cox1 genotype IV. Serotype-specific PCR confirmed BB19 as serotype III. Agglutination assay and indirect ELISA also showed that BB19 exclusively reacted with anti-serotype III (Mie0301 and BB19) sera, with no cross-reactivity to other serotypes, making this the first report of this serotype in Korea. Western blot analyses revealed a unique 34 kDa protein in serotype III, distinguishing it from the 30 and 38 kDa proteins of other serotypes. These results suggest that serotype III has distinct antigenic properties, indicating that vaccines based on serotypes I and II may not offer cross-protection. Virulence tests showed that BB19 caused 65% cumulative mortality in olive flounder at a concentration of 1 × 10
