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

backgroundFilarioses are common nematode infections in camels (Camelus spp.). The most significant disease is caused by Deraiophoronema evansi, which impacts camel reproductive function, working ability, and productivity. The taxonomy of this onchocercid is equivocal, and its phylogenetic relationships within Onchocercidae are ambiguous.

methodsWe analyzed D. evansi specimens from camels and examined their morphology. For comparative material, we analyzed fresh specimens from camels in Iran and specimens from Egypt deposited in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) collections. Multi-locus sequence analyses based on seven genes (two mitochondrial genes cox1 and 12S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and five nuclear genes 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, MyoHC, rbp1, and hsp70) of these filarioids and six genes of Wolbachia (16S rDNA, ftsZ, dnaA, coxA, fbpA, and gatB) were analyzed.

resultsDeraiophoronema evansi (Lewis, 1882) Romanovitch 1916 combinatio nova (n. comb.)(syn: Dipetalonema evansi) was described on the basis of morphological characteristics and its genetic divergence from congeners. Molecular characteristics of the new species revealed its close evolutionary relationship with Setaria sp. Wolbachia endosymbiont was not present in D. evansi.

conclusionsWe provide new molecular and morphological data on D. evansi, increasing the number of valid genera of Setariinae to four and setting up the taxonomic information regarding this species of veterinary importance.
