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

The genus Crithidia is a member of the family Trypanosomatidae and is related to the genera Leishmania and Trypanosoma with which it shares a variety of biochemical mechanisms, such as polyamine synthesis and methionin salvage. In consequence, a screening system for antiparasitic candidate material has been developed with Crithidia fasciculata, a parasite naturally occurring in insects and amphibians, but devoid of pathogenicity for humans. Initially a variety of culture media were evaluated of which TPS was best suited for the maintenance of stock cultures, and E-medium - a newly developed formula - for sensitivity testing. Optimal growth of C. fasciculata was observed under microaerophilic conditions. A system for sensitivity testing was developed and applied to the investigation of extracts from higher tropical plants of the genera Stemona and Aglaia for anticrithidial activity. Extracts with significant anti-crithidial activity were scheduled for chromatographic fractionation and the subsequent isolation, purification and structural identification of individual compounds for further sensitivity testing. Encouraging results were obtained with extracts from Aglaia odorata leaves, A. elaeagnoidea stem bark and A. edulis leaves, with EC(90) values of 1213 ng/ml, 1606 ng/ml, and 1462 ng/ml, respectively.
