Molecular evidence for person-to-person transmission of a novel subtype in Giardia duodenalis assemblage B at the rehabilitation institution for developmentally disabled people.
Article in Parasitology research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Giardia duodenalis was found in three patients and a health care worker at a rehabilitation institution for developmentally disabled people. The four isolates were genotyped and subtyped by multilocus homology searching and phylogenetic analyses of the following four loci: glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh), triosephosphate isomerase (tpi), and β-giardin (bg) as variable loci, and elongation factor 1 alpha (ef1α) as a conserved locus. The partial sequences, gdh (709 bp), tpi (526 bp), bg (724 bp), and ef1α (680 bp) of four isolates obtained were mutually identical, and the isolates were found to be a novel subtype in sub-assemblage BIV, strongly indicating that person-to-person transmission by a single subtype occurred at the institution.
