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 temporal dynamics of parasite communities of the Three-spot cichlid Amphilophus trimaculatus Günther 1867 was examined during an annual cycle. A total of 770 fishes were collected between March 2019 and February 2020 from a tropical costal lagoon. Thirteen taxa of metazoan parasites were identified, two of monoxenous and 11 of heteroxenous parasites. No significant changes were observed in the species composition of parasite communities in A. trimaculatus during a 12-yr period (2008-2020). The prevalence of infection of six heteroxenous parasites Austrodiplostomum ostrowskiae Dronen, 2009, Cladocystis cf. trifolium Poche, 1926, Clinostomum cf. tataxumui Sereno-Uribe, Pinacho-Pinacho, García-Varela et Pérez-Ponce de León, 2013, Crassicutis cichlasomae Manter, 1936, Southwellina cf. hispida Witenberg, 1932 and Contracaecum sp. varied between sampling months, and/or climatic seasons. Some species were more prevalent during some months of the dry season, while others during the rainy season, suggesting that these parasite populations respond differently to environmental changes. The environmental changes generated by the dry/rainy cycle may have affected the availability of intermediate host populations, and the feeding and reproductive behaviour of the host. Temporal variations in the infection levels of some parasite species generated important changes in the structure of the component communities over time. This study allows us to appreciate the sensitivity of parasite-host systems to environmental variability, and suggests that alterations to hydrological regimes could have significant consequences on parasite biodiversity in tropical brackish water environments.
