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

backgroundThe family Notocotylidae, established by Lühe in 1909, comprises trematode species characterized by the absence of a ventral sucker and pharynx, as well as by the presence of elongated filaments at the poles of their eggs. Members of this family primarily parasitize waterfowl, although infections have also been reported in some mammalian hosts.

objectivesThe present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of notocotylid trematodes in wild birds inhabiting aquatic environments in Türkiye.

methodsA total of 57 birds representing 21 species were examined to assess the Notocotylidae trematode fauna in Türkiye. All birds were collected from the Kızılırmak Delta, a major wetland area supporting diverse avian species. RESULTS AND

conclusionsParasitological examinations revealed the presence of Notocotylus skrjabini, Paramonostomum alveoelongatum, and P. alveatum in Aythya ferina; Notocotylus attenuatus, P. alveatum, and P. bucephalae in Netta rufina; and N. attenuatus in Rallus aquaticus. All recovered species were morphologically described, photographed, and illustrated. Notably, this study constitutes the first record of N. skrjabini, P. alveoelongatum, P. bucephalae, and P. pseudoalveatum in Türkiye.
