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
Brown bear populations in Greece face multiple threats, and parasitic infections may pose an additional risk to these vulnerable animals. This study represents the first comprehensive assessment of endoparasite occurrence, prevalence, and seasonality in brown bears in Greece, in relation to geographical location and the animal's different physiological phases. A total of 918 faecal samples were collected over a three-year period from regions with brown bear presence in Greece. For each sample, the date of collection and the coordinates of the site were recorded. Samples were examined using sedimentation, flotation, and McMaster techniques, while the Baermann method was additionally applied to a subset of 195 samples. Spatial and temporal patterns in parasite occurrence and diversity were analysed using generalised additive models (GAMs). Ten parasitic taxa were identified, with
