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

Adult liver flukes belonging to three isolates of differing sensitivity to triclabendazole were incubated for 24 h in vitro in nitroxynil at a concentration of 100 microg/ml. Fine structural changes to the tegument, sub-tegumental region and gut were assessed by transmission electron microscopy. Similar changes were observed in all three isolates. In the tegumental syncytium, the basal infoldings and mitochondria were swollen, and there was an accumulation and accelerated release of secretory bodies at the apex. The crystalline core of the spines was disrupted, and the tegumental covering sloughed off. Mitochondria in the tegumental cells were also swollen, the Golgi complexes were affected and reduced numbers of T1 secretory bodies were evident in the T1-type of tegumental cell. In the sub-tegumental region, large spaces were present between cells and tissues, indicative of severe internal flooding. Swelling of mitochondria and cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum was seen in the gastrodermal cells, which contained few secretory bodies. The extent of disruption varied between the isolates: the triclabendazole-resistant Sligo isolate was the most severely affected, while the Fairhurst triclabendazole-susceptible isolate was the least affected. In all three isolates, the tegument was more severely affected than the gut.
