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

African animal trypanosomiases are caused by trypanosomes cyclically or mechanically transmitted by tsetse and other biting flies. Although molecular tools have been developed to identify drug-resistant trypanosomes in mammals, little or no investigation on drug-resistance has been undertaken on trypanosomes harbored by tsetse flies. Moreover, no data on mechanical vectors of African trypanosomes is available in most endemic areas of Cameroon. This study was designed to update our knowledge on the cyclical and mechanical vectors of African trypanosomes, and using molecular tools to identify different trypanosome species as well as diminazene aceturate resistant trypanosomes in tsetse flies trapped at Yoko in the Centre region of Cameroon. For this study, traps were used to catch tsetse and mechanical vectors of African trypanosomes. The flies trapped were counted and identified by sex and species. DNA was extracted from tsetse and species-specific primers were used to identify different trypanosome species. PCR-RFLP was used to detect diminazene aceturate resistant strains of
