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 parasite-vector interaction of Chagas disease is still poorly understood and the understanding of this relationship can help in the development of new strategies to control Trypanosoma cruzi transmission, which is the etiological agent of this disease. Considering the need to know if T. cruzi can cause some pathology in the reproductive system of the Chagas disease vectors, we investigated the spermatogenesis of Triatoma infestans infected by T. cruzi through histological and cytogenetic analysis. Trypanosoma cruzi Bolivia strain infection was not pathogenic for the reproductive system of T. infestans, because all the analyzed males had normal spermatogenesis, with all phases (spermatocytogenesis, meiosis and spermiogenesis) happening without any change. Thus, we demonstrated that the presence of T. cruzi Bolivia strain does not have influence in the spermatogenesis of T. infestans and we suggest that the influences on reproductive system observed for other species were a result of the action of the parasite on gametogenesis of females.
