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
Hemoparasites are intracellular organisms that affect groups of vertebrates, including amphibians, yet their diversity, distribution, and ecological effects remain partially understood. This systematic review analyzed advances over the past one hundred years in the study of hemoparasites in anurans, emphasizing: (1) the geographical distribution of studies, (2) the diagnostic techniques employed, and (3) the diversity of parasites and hosts involved. To this end, 83 scientific articles published between 1924 and 2024 were reviewed, following PRISMA guidelines and within an adapted PICO framework. The results reveal a notable increase in publications since the 2000s, with a concentration in North and South America. Morphological studies predominated (69.9%), while only 22.9% combined morphological and molecular techniques and 9.6% used only molecular techniques. Protozoan genera such as
