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
purposeMedina-Salas River is a tributary of Sali-Dulce endorheic system, one of the most important basins of Northwester Argentina. Despite, many endemic fish species can be found in this endorheic system, and its ichthyological diversity is affected by anthropogenic activities, the diversity of endohelminth parasite of fish in this river remains unexplored. This study aimed to analyse the structure and composition of endohelminth communities of fish species from lower sector Medina-Salas River.
methodsFish belonging to seven species (Bryconamericus iheringii, Jenynsia tucumana, J. lineata, Trichomycterus corduvensis, T. alterus, T. spegazzinii, and Heptapterus qenqo) were examined for endohelminth parasites. Ecological analyses were performed at the component community and infracommunity levels.
resultsA total of 1269 endoparasites belonging to six taxa (5 Nematoda and 1 Cestoda) were found in the intestine or abdominal cavity from a total of 951 fishes screened. Contracaecum sp. was the only taxon found in the larval stage. The helminth taxon that displayed the highest prevalence, mean intensity and mean abundance was the nematode Cucullanus pinnai of H. qenqo. Most taxa of parasitic helminth exhibit the typical aggregated pattern of distribution within host populations. All component communities presented a low richness and diversity values. Jenynsia tucumana showed the most diverse helminth component community.
conclusionThis study is the first comprehensive ecological survey on the diversity of endohelminth fauna of freshwater fish species from Northwest Argentina, presenting six new host records contributing to the knowledge of the real patterns of helminth parasites diversity from Neotropical fish.
