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

The advances in development and popularization of automated fluorescence microscopes and pipetting robots allowed scientists to establish high-throughput compound screening using image-based assays for Trypanosoma cruzi intracellular forms, which are associated to chronic Chagas disease. An intracellular T. cruzi image-based assay is a valuable tool to early stage drug discovery for Chagas disease, because it allows scientists to assess a compound's efficacy and safety in the same experiment. During the last 10 years, several improvements have been incorporated into intracellular T. cruzi assay protocols to make them more predictable in what happens with parasites within an infected organism. In the present chapter, a protocol will be presented for an intracellular T. cruzi assay, but at a low-throughput scale, more compatible with facilities in many academic laboratories.
