Paleopathology of a Lower Miocene Carettochelyid Turtle from the Moghra Formation, Egypt.
Article in Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examines two articulated peripheral plates of a carettochelyid turtle from the Moghra Formation (Early Miocene, 19.6-18.2 Ma) in Egypt. This research represents the first record of shell pathologies in an African carettochelyid. The specimens were analyzed through detailed macroscopic observation and computed tomography (CT) imaging. To characterize the observed anomalies, a comparative analysis was conducted based on standardized clinical and veterinary osteopathological methodologies. The results revealed significant external and internal structural alterations, including irregular globular outgrowths and internal remodeling evidenced by high-density bone formation. These features enable the identification of pathological conditions that differ from the bioerosive traces and other surface modifications that have been documented previously in the turtle fauna of the Moghra Formation.
