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

Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasite with large amounts of sialic acid (SA) residues exposed at its surface that seems to be involved in macrophages infection. Some macrophages, present in T. cruzi infected tissues, expresses sialoadhesin (Sn), a receptor that recognizes SA. Thus, the involvement of Sn in the association of T. cruzi to macrophages was investigated. Sn was induced in mice peritoneal macrophages by homologous serum (HS) cultivation. Epimastigotes and trypomastigotes associated more to HS cultured macrophages than to fetal bovine serum (FBS). Blocking of Sn with antibodies reduced the association of trypomastigotes to similar level as for FBS cultured macrophages. Desialylation reduced the association of parasites to HS cultured macrophages indicating the Sn importance. Furthermore, the entrance mechanism of trypomastigotes to Sn positive macrophages has a phagocytic nature as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and cytochalasin D treatment. Sn positive macrophages may important in the initial trypomastigote infection, thus in the establishment of Chagas disease.
