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
We describe Catadiscus marielaosornae Cajiao-Mora and Bullard n. sp. (Diplodiscidae) from the intestine of Peters' thin-toed frog, Leptodactylus petersii (Steindachner) (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from the Yahuarcaca Lake System, Colombia. We assigned our specimens to Catadiscus Cohn, 1904 because they have a smooth-surfaced, pyriform body, centrally-constricted ventro-terminal acetabulum that lacks an accessory sucker, pharynx with extramural sacs, oesophageal bulb, and single testis. The new species differs from all but Catadiscus rodriguezi Caballero, 1955, Catadiscus marinholutzi Freitas and Lent, 1939, and Catadiscus propinquus Freitas and Dobbin, 1956 by having a vitellarium that is confluent anteriorly (vs. two non-confluent fields). It differs from the aforenamed congeners by having a ventral common genital pore that opens anterodextral to the oesophageal bifurcation, round vitelline follicles that become confluent anterior to the testis, and a 1: 2-3 ratio of acetabulum: testis width. Our 28S phylogenetic analysis recovered the new species sister to C. marinholutzi, and Diplodiscidae as paraphyletic, with Catadiscus sister to a clade comprising a sequence ascribed to Chiorchis fabaceus (Diesing, 1838) Fischoeder, 1901 (Cladorchiidae), and sequences of three species of Diplodiscus Diesing, 1836. The species description herein includes several features pertaining to the acetabulum, female genitalia, and excretory system that could comprise useful character states with which to more readily classify and diagnose diplodiscid species and genera. To our knowledge, this is the first record of a digenean infecting Peters' thin-toed frog, and it is also the first record of any parasite infecting any ditch frog (Leptodactylus spp.) from Colombia.
