Pellioditis abyssinica n. sp. (Nematoda: Rhabditidae), a gastropod-associated nematode from Subulinidae snails in Ethiopia: description and molecular affiliation.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 2026. 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
purposeThe study describes the new species of a gastropod-associated nematode from Ethiopia.
methodsNematodes were isolated from snails collected in Ethiopia and were studied using morphological and molecular-phylogenetic methods of analyses.
resultsThe new species Pellioditis abyssinica is described as the sixth species of the genus originating in African continent. It is characterised by the infective juveniles 1013 (708–1267) µm long with a wide lateral field of 10–11 ridges, longish stoma of adult nematodes, females with long conical tails and prominent phasmids situated at anterior third of tail, males with holed spicules ca 65 µm long and unique molecular characteristics. Presence of 10–11 lateral ridges in ensheathed IJ is unique within the genus. DNA sequences for 18S rDNA, ITS rDNA and Cox1 mtDNA loci were obtained. Molecular-phylogenetic analysis placed the new species in the clade with another African Pellioditis, P. kenyensis.
conclusionGastropod-associated nematodes of the genus Pellioditis in the African continent are represented by at least seven species grouped in three clades, one of European origin and the rest native. Yet several more isolates remain undescribed. Both local and alien gastropod hosts were recorded for different Pellioditis species.
