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

In Southeast Asia, consumption of raw or undercooked cyprinoid fish poses dual health concerns: transmission of zoonotic fish-borne trematodes (FBTs) and exposure to heavy metals that have bioaccumulated in fish. We investigated the association between heavy-metal contamination and FBT metacercarial infections in cyprinoid fish from canals connected to the Huay Luang River, Udon Thani Province, Thailand, during the 2024 rainy season. In total, 1377 fish were examined for metacercariae using the pepsin digestion method. Concentrations of five heavy-metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Pb) were quantified by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in infected fish, uninfected fish, water, sediment, and
