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

One female specimen of the cetacean harbour porpoise Phocoena Phocoena (Linnaeus, 1758) was found dead on the North Sea coast of Denmark (Jutland) in May 2025. During necropsy severe pathological changes of the liver were observed (hepatic fibrosis, enlarged and thickened biliary duct walls) and when dissecting the biliary ducts six intact trematodes (total length 6.9-7.9 mm, width 1.9-2.0 mm) were recovered. Following conservation in formalin four parasites were haematoxylin stained, one specimen kept unstained but all five mounted for morphological analysis. The sixth specimen conserved in 70% ethanol was subjected to DNA purification and subsequent PCR and sequencing. All the parasites were identified as fully adult Campula oblonga (Cobbold, Trans Linnean Soc Lond 22(3):155-172, 1858). Morphometric, morphological and molecular data (NADH dehydrogenase, subunit 3 (ND3), mtDNA) are presented and indicate close relation with previous isolates from the North and Baltic Seas but a lower similarity to Pacific conspecifics.
