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

Cryptosporidium sp. causes fulminant diarrhea and chronic infection in immunocompromised, particularly human immunodeficiency virus-infected, persons. The lack of in vitro cultivation and a suitable animal model has limited development of effective treatment. We describe two new mouse models of chronic symptomatic cryptosporidiosis in adult athymic mice and in T-cell subset-depleted mice. A progressive infection, fatal within 4 months, occurred in most adult athymic mice; a few developed stable infections. Symptoms included dehydration, weight loss, intermittent diarrhea, and jaundice. Pathologic abnormalities and organisms localized in the intestine in stable infections but involved the hepatobiliary tree and pancreas in others. Lymphoid cells from histocompatible, Cryptosporidium sp.-immune mice cured infected nude mice. Identical infections occurred in neonatally infected BALB/c mice treated with anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies alone or also with anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies; the mice were cured when the monoclonal antibody treatments were stopped. These models will be useful in definition of the immune defects that permit chronic cryptosporidiosis to develop and in assessment of treatment modalities.
