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

purposeThe state of Puebla has the social marginalization and ecological conditions for the transmission of infectious agents to be effective. Until a few years ago, the state of Puebla was considered non-endemic to the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi as there are no official reports of chronic cases. The objective of this work was to carry out a preliminary study on the prevalence of anti-T. cruzi antibodies in rural areas of the Huatlatlauca municipality in the Mixtec sierra of the state of Puebla.

methodsA total of 196 serum samples from 12 rural localities were tested by using four tests: two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, an xenodiagnoses and PCR assay.

resultsOverall, 28 (14.2%) of 196 samples were positive for T. cruzi by ≥ 2 tests (95% CI 6.6-20.8%). Our results suggested that the municipality of Huatlatlauca in the Mixteca Sierra of the state of Puebla is an area with endemic potential for the disease with a high prevalence rate in the adult population and with cases in newborns, these high transmission rates are probably associated with problems of congenital and vector transmission.

conclusionAdditional studies should be conducted to generate adequate campaigns for the control of Chagas disease in this area.
