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

Treatments for toxoplasmosis such as pyrimethamine have shown numerous side effects. It has been reported that the likelihood of relapse associated with pyrimethamine-based therapy in patients with HIV and toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) can have significant implications, even for patients who often develop new lesions in areas of the brain previously free of infection. This led us to research for new agents against Toxoplasma gondii. Recent findings have shown the potent biological activity of 4-thiazolidinones. We proposed to design and synthesize a new series of 2-hydrazono-4-thiazolidinones derivatives to evaluate the in vitro growth inhibition effect on T. gondii. The growth rates of T. gondii tachyzoites in Human Foreskin Fibroblast (HFF) cell culture were identified by two in vitro methodologies. The first one was by fluorescence in which green fluorescent RH parasites and cherry-red fluorescent ME49 parasites were used. The second one was a colorimetric methodology using β-Gal parasites of the RH strain constitutively expressing the enzyme beta-galactosidase. The 4-thiazolidinone derivatives 1B, 2B and 3B showed growth inhibition at the same level of Pyrimethamine. These compounds showed IC
