Declining body weight of moose calves related to parasite and disease burden.

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
Body weights of hunted moose calves have markedly declined in southwestern Finland during this millennium, but the cause of this phenomenon is yet unknown. We studied whether the decline is associated with prevalence of parasites and diseases. For this purpose, we collected tissue samples (lung, heart, liver and faeces) from moose calves hunted in autumn in study area with declining calf body weights (N = 45) and in control area with no decline in body weight (N = 19). We compared the findings between regions and studied the relationship between carcass weight and parasitological and pathological parameters. The organ samples revealed infections by several parasites, including the lungworms
