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

Two new species of Protomicrocotyle are described as parasites of the gill filaments of Caranx hippos from the Gulf of Mexico coast, characterized using morphological, morphometric, and molecular methods. Multivariate statistics (principal component and discriminant analyses) were used for the morphometric analyses. Pairwise genetic distances (p-distances) and cluster analyses using the Neighbor-joining method were performed using partial sequences of CO1 mtDNA and 28S rDNA of the new species and partial sequences of other species of Protomicrocotylidae from GenBank. Protomicrocotyle eamsae sp. nov. differs morphologically from other congeners by the presence of a retractile glandulomuscular organ in the prohaptor, and Protomicrocotyle pritchardae sp. nov. differs from other congeners by the body length and by the arrangement, shape, and number of testes. The new species was recovered as a distinct group, separate from other protomicrocotylids, based on CO1 mtDNA and 28S rDNA analyses. The results of the morphometric analysis of 91 morphological variables and the molecular analysis support the assignment of the new species to Protomicrocotyle in Caranx hippos from Tecolutla, Veracruz, Mexico.
