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

Chagas' disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and commonly modelled in inbred mice. Susceptibility of mouse strains to experimental infection varies considerably. We quantified parasite tissue burdens in resistant and susceptible strains by real time PCR and applied a backcross strategy to map the genomic loci linked to susceptibility in inbred mice. Resistant B6D2F1 mice were backcrossed with susceptible C57BL/6 mice, and 46 of a total 192 offspring died after infection. Their genomes were scanned with microsatellite markers. One region on chromosome 17 was significantly linked to susceptibility, while another on chromosome 5 was suggestive of linkage.
