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
purposeA new species of Gussevia Kohn et Paperna, 1964 (Monopisthocotyla, Dactylogyridae) is described based on specimens recovered from the gills of Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz, 1831) (Cichliformes, Cichlidae) collected in the Ubaldinho weir, state of Ceará, Brazil. MATERIALS AND
methodsSome obtained monopisthocotylans were mounted on slides using Gray and Wess medium and studied using an optical microscope with a phase-contrast. Illustrations were made using a drawing tube attached to a Leica DM750 microscope and vectorized using Inkscape 1.4 software.
resultsGussevia lamarckii n. sp. is characterized by having an accessory piece nonarticulated with the MCO base, comprising two dorsal subunits, one Y-shaped and the other one rod-shaped; and an elongated peduncle. Furthermore, the new species can be easily distinguished from the other congeners by possessing (1) a ventral anchor with an external protuberance at the junction between the root and the shaft, and (2) a superficial groove at the base of the dorsal anchor.
conclusionsThis study presents a new species of the genus Gussevia, the fourth described from Astronotus fish and the first from A. ocellatus and the aquatic ecosystems of the Caatinga domain.
