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
Therodamas comprises copepods that parasitize marine, brackish-water and freshwater fishes, and currently includes eight valid species. In this study, a new species for this genus was described from the gills of Trachelyopterus galeatus collected in the Jari River, eastern Amazon, Brazil. Parasites were analyzed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and SSU-rDNA sequences. A total of 539 parasites has recovered, with prevalence of 69%, mean intensity of 18 parasites per host and mean abundance of 12 (standard deviation = 12.8). The new species, Therodamas anujauensis n. sp., is characterized by the absence of cephalic lobes, an elongated neck and a distinctive combination of setae and spines on the swimming legs. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed its placement within Ergasilidae and revealed a close relationship with Therodamas longicollum. Molecular dating suggested that the Therodamas lineage originated approximately 59.6 million years ago, whereas the divergence between T. anujauensis n. sp. and T. longicollum occurred about 6.03 million years ago. This study increases the number of known species of Therodamas from eight to nine and expands knowledge of parasite diversity in the Amazon region.
