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

In fillets of cultured common carp intended for human consumption, large cysts containing larvae (metacercariae) of trematodes (Digenea) were found. These larvae belong to the family Diplostomidae, whose adults most often mature in birds and mammals. Although humans may acquire diplostomid infection only incidentally and the number of reported human cases of diplostomosis is not very high, except for alariosis, the presence of metacercariae in carp fillets is an epidemiological and economic concern due to the popularity of carp as a food source in Central and Eastern Europe. Morphological and molecular data (sequencing of three genetic markers) did not allow the assignment of the larvae to any known diplostomid genus.
