Juvenile rhesus monkeys have more colonic granulomas than adults after primary infection with Schistosoma mansoni.

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
Adults and children have differences in their susceptibility to schistosomiasis. Whether this age-dependent innate susceptibility influences parasite-caused granulomogenesis is difficult to assess in humans. Therefore, we exposed juvenile and adult female rhesus monkeys to primary infection with Schistosoma mansoni. Hepatic and intestinal granuloma formation was observed in both pre-pubescent and adult monkeys. Two distinct stages of granulomas were discerned, the exudative and the productive stage. In the intestine, more granulomas were generated in the colon than in the ileum. In contrast to the adult animals, the juvenile rhesus monkeys had higher numbers of colonic granulomas, these higher numbers being predominantly of the more advanced productive stage. Juvenile animals had a statistically non-significant increased worm burden. These results suggest that juvenile rhesus monkeys have a significantly more intense and advanced colonic response towards entrapped S. mansoni eggs after primary schistosome infections and, thereby, are more susceptible to parasite infection.
