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

Odontostomatid ciliates, known for over a century, were historically classified within various taxonomic groups of Ciliophora Doflein, 1901 until their reclassification into the class Odontostomatea. Despite the recognition of 25 valid species, most descriptions predate the advent of silver impregnation and sequencing methods. Consequently, many species were described based solely on observations of live specimens, leading to incomplete or ambiguous records. To date, redescriptions of only three species include 18S rRNA gene sequences data, and their evolutionary relationships remain unresolved. In this study, we investigated 32 populations representing 15 species-including three newly described-across the genera Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42995-026-00352-x.
