Functional Anatomy of the Pharynx of Glycera tridactyla Schmarda, 1861 (Annelida: Glyceriformia: Glyceridae).

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
The pharyngeal muscular system of polychaetes is highly complex and shows remarkable variation in structure and function among taxa. In this study, the functional anatomy of the pharynx of G. tridactyla was investigated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Sixteen Glycera specimens were imaged in different pharyngeal positions to examine the roles of key muscular structures in pharyngeal movement. The high-resolution imaging provided by micro-CT allowed visualisation of the pharyngeal muscles in their original topography, revealing essential components for pharyngeal function, including the ring muscle, retensor muscles, intestinal retractor muscles, and longitudinal muscles of the buccal tube and oesophagus. Comparison with previous studies addressed gaps in our knowledge of Glyceridae functional anatomy. Specifically, detailed analysis of the muscular system in different pharyngeal positions clarified the mechanisms of proboscis movement, which indicate the rapid and effective responses of these worms during burrowing and feeding behaviour.
