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

Parasites are known for their ability to induce a variety of changes in their respective hosts, including morphological characteristics and trophic interactions. For many host-parasite relationships, however, these aspects are yet to be explored. We assessed the occurrence of acanthocephalans and microsporidians in a population of the isopod Asellus aquaticus from a stream in western Germany over several months. We aimed to contrast the trophic positions of Acanthocephala-infected, Microsporidia-infected and uninfected isopods by assessing the stable isotope ratios for nitrogen (δ
