Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline.
Review in Integrative zoology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an extraordinary transformation. We will review here some of the advances produced in three specific aspects: (1) Taxonomy; this field has been profoundly transformed, moving from microscopy to molecular analyses and phylogeny. (2) Impact of infections on wildlife fitness; from an initial position in which it was understood that infections by blood parasites had little or no effect on their hosts, we have moved on to the experimental demonstration of important effects on the fitness of individuals. (3) Distribution of blood parasite infections; the distribution across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients as well as the different effects of anthropic activities on the incidence of blood parasite infections have been developed importantly during the last few years. Finally, we will look at the promising future of this discipline by pointing out some developing fields of research.
