Application of Quantitative PCR in the Diagnosis and Evaluating Treatment Efficacy of Leishmaniasis.

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
Leishmaniasis is still a serious neglected tropical disease that may cause death in infected individuals. At present, the clinical diagnosis and treatment monitoring still rely on parasitological culture and microscopy that needs experienced technicians. The low sensitivity and inconvenience of microscopic examination could cause misdiagnosis and relapse of leishmaniasis. There is an urgent need for developing a sensitive and easily operated diagnostic method for the diagnosis and disease management of leishmaniasis. Thus, a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) based on the conversed regions of kinetoplast minicircle DNA (mkDNA) of
