Aspects of the Histopathology of Clarias gariepinus Infected With the Camallanid Parasite Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015.
Article in Journal of fish diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Histopathological studies of infections with the nematode Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015, an intestinal parasite of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), are scarce. The current study describes histopathological changes in the stomach of C. gariepinus infected with P. (P.) pseudolaeviconchus and links it to the parasite's wound-inflicting and feeding structures using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A total of 20 fish were collected from the Vaal River below the Vaal Dam and Lake Heritage in the Crocodile River, Gauteng, South Africa. In Lake Heritage, the prevalence of the infection was 80%, with mean intensity and mean abundance of 2.5 and 2, respectively. Perforation and alteration of the columnar epithelial cells lining the secondary folds of the stomach mucosa, trauma to the loose connective tissue, and gastric glands were observed. Mast cell numbers did not vary in the infected and uninfected samples, indicating the absence of an initiated cellular immune response. No haemorrhage, cellular infiltration, inflammation, necrosis or granuloma formation was observed in the infected sample. The peribuccal flanges, the solid buccal capsule and the muscular oesophagus are the wound-inflicting and feeding structures.
