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

Nitazoxanide and three halogeno-thiazolides, RM-4850, RM-4865, and RM-5038, were tested against Cryptosporidium parvum in experimentally infected immunosuppressed Mongolian gerbils. Daily 400-mg/kg doses of the four test drugs for 5 to 8 consecutive days produced similar reductions of oocyst shedding. Using early-infected gerbils, a shorter 4-day treatment with RM-5038 reduced oocyst shedding by 95%, compared to 47% for nitazoxanide (P = 0.02), suggesting that RM-5038 is more effective than nitazoxanide under the experimental conditions used.
