A Resistant Case of Familial Nonsexual Transmission of Trichomonas.

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
Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan responsible for the most prevalent sexually transmitted nonviral disease worldwide. This is a case report of probable grandmother to granddaughter nonsexual transmission of trichomonas. The granddaughter had no prior sexual contact for the last 11 years. The patient presented for a follow-up of urinary tract infection diagnosed at her neurologist's office. On review, it was noticed that the urinalysis microscopy revealed trichomonas. History-taking revealed no usual sexual exposure, but subsequent investigation revealed probable exposure from her grandmother. Furthermore, typical single-dose treatment followed by typical seven-day treatment was ineffective. High-dose metronidazole for seven days was required for treatment. While nonsexual transmission of trichomonas is rare, there have been numerous case reports and studies showing that it does occur. The subsequent presented case highlights the need to broaden the search for contacts beyond sexual transmission. Also, resistance to usual treatment, as seen in this case, is seldom encountered, but it could have been caused by repeated treatment and re-exposure to the unusual source.
