Prevalence and climatic associated factors of Cryptosporidium sp. infections in savanna chimpanzees from Ugalla, Western Tanzania.
Article in Parasitology research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Studies about parasitization by Cryptosporidium in great apes have been scarce and mostly conducted in captivity. The present study reports the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) from Ugalla, western Tanzania. Ugalla is one of the driest, most open, and seasonal habitats inhabited by chimpanzees. Cryptosporidium sp. was found in 8.9 % of the samples. The presence of the parasite was determined by preserving fecal samples in chemical conventional fixatives (MIF and alcohol absolute) staining them using a modified Zielh-Neelsen technique, and examining them with a light microscope. The number of fecal samples positive for Cryptosporidium was significantly higher during the rainy than during the dry season (p < 0.005). The results showed that feces collected in the rainy season were almost three times more likely to be positive for Cryptosporidium than those collected in the dry season (OR = 2.81). Cryptosporidium detection was significantly negatively affected by highest temperatures (>28.7 °C, p < 0.001). Cryptosporidiosis can cause serious health problems in humans and its potential effect on Ugalla chimpanzees is discussed.
