Descriptive histopathological assessment of kidney and gill tissues in
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: The Mediterranean Sea has undergone significant ecological changes in recent decades, partly due to the introduction of non-native species. Aim: This study provides a descriptive histopathological assessment of kidney and gill tissues in adult Methods: A total of 150 adult specimens were collected from four Libyan coastal locations. Tissues were processed using standard histological techniques and evaluated semi-quantitatively (+, ++, +++) for lesion severity. Lesion severity grades were converted into ordinal numerical data and summarized using descriptive statistical approaches only. Results: Kidney tissues exhibited tubular degeneration, Bowman's capsule dilatation, vascular congestion, extensive melanomacrophage centers (MMCs), and inflammatory lesions. Gill tissues showed disorganization of secondary lamellae, epithelial hyperplasia, edema, aneurysmal dilatations, vascular congestion, and MMC proliferation, some of which were associated with histologically observed parasitic structures. Conclusion: The observed alterations represent descriptive baseline tissue changes and should not be interpreted as direct evidence of pollution or specific environmental stressors.These findings provide reference data for future comparative pathological and ecological studies.
