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
The red piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) is a carnivorous fish of significant ecological and economic value, widely distributed across tropical and neotropical regions of South America, particularly within the Amazon basin. This study investigated the presence of Myxobolus sp. infection in the ovaries of red piranhas collected in the municipality of Pracuúba, in the state of Amapá, Brazil. During necropsy, whitish cysts suggestive of parasitic infection were observed. Microscopic examination revealed spores with morphological characteristics consistent with Myxobolus sp., predominantly located in the ovarian parenchyma. These infections caused tissue lesions and disrupted the normal ovarian architecture, although no inflammatory infiltrates were detected. While Myxobolus sp. infections in reproductive organs are rare, they can significantly impact fish health and reproduction. This study is the first to report of Myxobolus sp. infection in the ovaries of P. nattereri, underscoring the importance of monitoring parasitic infections in this species, which plays a vital role in the food security of riverside communities in the Amazon.
