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

Alternating current-direct current (AC-DC) electropenetrography (EPG) is a non-invasive approach for quantifying parasitic arthropods' probing and ingestion behaviors inside host tissues. Here, we present a procedure for using the Observer XT behavioral coding software to synchronize EPG waveforms with video recordings. We describe the steps for performing, importing, and analyzing simultaneous recordings. This protocol has potential applications for the initial correlation of waveforms with arthropod biological activities. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cooper et al.
