Antibodies of the IgE and IgG isotype, serum IgE and circulating immune complexes in schistosomiasis intercalatum.
Article in Parasitology research, 1987. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Individuals in an advanced phase of infection by Schistosoma intercalatum in whom viable ova are still present in the rectal mucosa but not excreted in detectable quantity, can be distinguished clinically from a younger group of individuals excreting S. intercalatum ova in their faeces. This clear-cut distinction is underlined by findings in parameters of humoral response. The ratio of anticercarial to anti-adult worm antibodies was higher in the group excreting eggs with probably more recent infection. Levels of total serum immunoglobulin were higher in this group, with the exception of serum IgA, which was lower as long as eggs were being excreted. In a later stage of the disease, relatively more IgG seems to be bound in circulating immune complexes. It is postulated that these stage specific patterns of humoral immune response represent the evolution of the host-parasite relationship during the infection.
