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

Gastrointestinal parasites have been reported in wild Sunda pangolins (Manis javanica), but the clinical significance of such detections is often unknown. This report describes pathological lesions in the stomachs of two dead wild Sunda pangolins caused by Gendrespirura sp.. Gross and histopathological examination showed gastritis and hyperkeratosis in infected animals. Morphological identification confirmed the presence of Gendrespirura sp., and molecular analysis revealed a close phylogenetic relationship with the genus Gendrespirura, supporting placement within the family Habronematidae. This report highlights the pathological significance of parasite infections in wild pangolins in Singapore, further advancing our understanding of the natural biology and parasitology of wild Sunda pangolins, and the effects of these infections on the health and conservation of this critically endangered species.
