Epidemiology of Infantile Visceral Leishmaniasis in Western Algerian And The Convenience of Serum For The Disease Diagnosis by PCR and Immunochromatography.

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
Epidemiological situation of infantile visceral leishmaniasis (IVL), which is a public health problem in Algeria, is almost unknown in the cities of Western part of the country. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, biological, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of IVL in Western Algeria, to evaluate the performance of the immunochromatography as a rapid diagnostic test of the disease, and to propose a diagnosis approach by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay from the serum. This prospective study was performed on 63 suspicious cases of visceral leishmaniasis collected from the infectious diseases department at the Pediatric Hospital of Oran from January 2012 to July 2017. For each patient, the epidemiological parameters, and the clinical and biological data were collected. Bone marrow and blood samples were drawn from all cases. Bone marrow was performed to research amastigote forms of
