Diversity and phylogeny of parasitic copepods of freshwater fishes from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

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
The Mediterranean and the Middle East represent unique biogeographical regions that significantly shaped the evolutionary history and particular diversity of their associated organisms. However, knowledge on the copepods parasitizing freshwater fishes in these regions is limited. This study aims to investigate the diversity and phylogeny of parasitic copepods in freshwater fishes across the Mediterranean and the Middle Eastern regions. A total of 169 freshwater fish species from the Mediterranean and Middle East were examined for metazoan parasites, yielding over 1000 parasitic copepods. A thorough morphological evaluation combined with molecular analyses of partial fragments of rDNA (18S and 28S) and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) led to the identification of 7 species of Ergasilidae and 3 species of Lernaeidae. These findings include the descriptions of 2 new species:
