Prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in symptomatic immunocompetent children and comparative evaluation of its diagnosis by Ziehl-Neelsen staining and antigen detection techniques.
Article in Tropical parasitology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCryptosporidia is a major pathogen causing diarrhoea and with increasing morbidity and mortality. As persistent diarrhoea from intestinal cryptosporidiosis leads to increased susceptibility to recurrent diarrheal episodes further leading to chronic nutritional and cognitive sequelae or even death, diagnosis is important. Most of the studies done on AIMS AND
objectivesKeeping these facts in mind the present study was aimed to estimate prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in immunocompetent children, and do a comparative evaluation of its detection by microscopy with antigen detection methods. MATERIAL AND
methods80 immunocompetent children (40 OPD children presenting with diarrhea and 40 children hospitalized for diarrhea) upto age of 5 years were studies and their stool samples were compared by microscopy by mZN with copro-antigen detection methods (using rapid ICT and ELISA) for the diagnosis of Cryptosporidiosis.
