In vivo studies of the effectiveness of novel N-halomethylated and non-halomethylated quaternary ammonium salts in the topical treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 physicochemical properties of four N-halomethylated and one non-halomethylated ammonium salts, with proven in vitro antileishmanial activity, were determined according to pharmaceutical standard procedures. The effectiveness and toxicity of these compounds were assessed in hamsters infected with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and compared to that showed by meglumine antimoniate. Animals were followed during 90 days after the completion of treatment. Therapeutic response was determined according to the reduction of size of skin lesions. Toxicity was determined by the effect of compounds on body weight changes and serum levels of renal and hepatic metabolites. The effectiveness of compound 4 was similar to that showed by intralesional administration of meglumine antimoniate and better than that of the other ammonium salts. Levels of creatinine, alanine amino transferase, and blood urea nitrogen in serum were not significantly different between treatment groups, including healthy or untreated hamsters. Results imply that compound 4 has potential as a pharmaceutical active ingredient in the development of new and better formulations for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
