Interspecies transmission of Enterozytozoon bieneusi supported by observations in laboratory animals and phylogeny.
Article in Medical microbiology and immunology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is emerging as an important cause of chronic diarrhoea in AIDS patients. Its reservoirs and transmission patterns are unknown. In this study, we have examined E. bieneusi sequences from four Rhesus macaques of different origin, which were kept at one animal facility. The sequences were identical in all animals, which suggested that infection had occurred within the facility. Full sequence agreement of E. bieneusi from macaques was found with an E. bieneusi genotype that occurs frequently in humans. To clarify, the relevance of possible inter-species transmission from man to macaque, a phylogenetic analysis was conducted including all sequences of E. bieneusi deposited in GenBank. The hitherto used system of diverse nomenclatures could be reduced to an outlier group and three main lineages, one of which could be further sub-divided into five subgroups. Based in this phylogeny, an association of parasites and host species could be observed for main lineages 2 and 3, as well as for most of the subgroups of main lineage 1. For confirmation, the phylogeny of main lineage 1 was reconstructed with an alternative method of distance estimation, yielding essentially the same parasite-host associations. Zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi is thus supported on a phylogenetic basis.
