An improved method for the extraction and quantification of adult Echinococcus from wildlife definitive hosts.
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 13 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
The scraping and counting technique (SCT), with sensitivity values close to 100 %, has been the protocol recommended by global regulatory bodies for the extraction of Echinococcus cestodes from the intestines of wild carnivores. The proposed scraping, filtration and counting technique (SFCT) maintained the sensitivity (p = 0.801, α = 0.05) and increased the efficiency of sample processing. SCT had sensitivity and negative predictive value of 91 and 97 %, respectively, when compared to SFCT. The SFCT significantly decreased processing time (p = 0.0001, α = 0.05) for each sample. The SFCT took an average of 68.5 min less to quantify than SCT, as the SFCT samples consistently contained less debris. The SFCT is therefore appealing for general post-mortem surveillance, to determine if prevalence and intensity of infection are changing in an established region, or if these important parasitic zoonoses are newly established in a region or host species.
