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

Gastrointestinal parasite assemblages are influenced by host compatibility, exposure, behavior, and environmental conditions; however, baseline data remain limited in Central Africa. We characterized gastrointestinal parasite morphotypes in 279 fecal samples collected from five wild mammal taxa at Lopé National Park and Makatamangoye, Gabon. Parasites were identified using flotation and sedimentation techniques and classified to the lowest morphologically defensible taxonomic level. The analysis included overall infection rates, infracommunity richness, sample-based rarefaction, and presence-absence community composition within localities and between host populations. After excluding unidentified structures, an ectoparasite, and a plant-parasitic nematode, 140/279 samples were tested positive (50.2%; 95% CI 44.2-56.2), resulting in the retention of 25 parasite taxa or morphotypes. Strongylid-type eggs (65 detections),
