First record of 3 chewing louse species from the Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana) in Korea: Insights into conservation of co-associated species.

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 Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana Swinhoe, 1873) is an endangered species, with active restoration efforts ongoing in Korea. Despite the ecological importance of host-specific parasites, such as chewing lice (Phthiraptera), information on the chewing lice fauna associated with C. boyciana in Korea remains unclear. Previous records of 2 chewing louse species from the host have been questioned due to potential misidentification. To clarify the chewing lice fauna of the host, we conducted a survey of captive C. boyciana at Yesan Oriental Stork Park, Korea, in October 2022. Morphological identification of collected louse specimens revealed 3 species: Neophilopterus incompletes (Denny, 1842), Ardeicola ciconiae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Colpocephalum zebra Burmeister, 1838. These species are typical ectoparasites of Ciconiiform birds and represent the first verified louse records of chewing lice from C. boyciana in Korea. Unlike with a previous report, Cuclotogaster heterographus (Nitzsch, 1866) and Anaticola anseris (Linnaeus, 1758) were not detected. Our findings provide an updated checklist of chewing louse species for C. boyciana in Korea, contributing to a more accurate understanding of host-parasite associations and supporting future conservation efforts for both the host and its associated parasite fauna.
