Developmental Stages of an Invasive, Nonindigenous Sea Louce
Article in Zoological studies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 present study describes and illustrates the morphology of naupliar and copepodid stages of Caligus sclerotinosus Roubal, Armitage and Rohde, 1983 (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida: Caligoida), an invasive, non-indigenous parasite collected from commercially important red sea bream Pagrus major (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843) (Sparidae) cultured as well as wild populations in western Japan. The life cycle of C. sclerotinosus consists of 8 stages: two nauplii, five copepodids (copepodid I to V) and one adult, which exhibited the general pattern of other congeners. Sexual dimorphism was first observed in the urosome and antenna of copepodid IV. The body lengths of the developmental stages of 14 Caligus spp. are compared to those of C. sclerotinosus. The oral cone of copepodid I is highly unique for its suckerlike shape, widely expanded terminally. All post-naupliar stages were found on the same host fish P. major, rejecting the previous hypothesis for the presence of intermediate hosts for the development of C. sclerotinosus.
