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
Coastal lagoons are among the most productive aquatic ecosystems worldwide and are widely used by mugilid fishes. Mugil liza stands out as one of the main resources of lagoon fisheries in southern and southeastern Brazil. This study aimed to identify the species composing the ectoparasite fauna of M. liza from the Maricá Lagoon, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. A total of 44 specimens of M. liza were examined, of which 95.4% were parasitized by at least one ectoparasite species. Six ectoparasite species were recorded. The copepod Ergasilus caraguatatubensis was the most representative species, with prevalence (P) of 86.4%, followed by the copepods Bomolochus nitidus (P = 43.2%), Caligus sp. (P = 2.3%) and Naobranchia lizae (P = 2.3%). The polyopisthocotylan Metamicrocotyla macracantha showed prevalence of 18.2% and the myxozoan Myxobolus episquamalis presented a low prevalence (P = 2.3%). The ectoparasite fauna of M. liza exhibited diversity, comprising six distinct families, highlighting the host's gills as an important site for parasite diversity. The results expand the environmental distribution of E. caraguatatubensis, B. nitidus, Caligus sp., N. lizae and M. macracantha within Rio de Janeiro State, increasing the known occurrence sites of these parasites, including lagoon.
