Seroprevalence of Chagas Disease among People of Latin American Descent Living in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2023. 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
This cross-sectional study estimated a one-time point seroprevalence rate of Chagas disease among people of Latin American descent in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria were screened using the Chagas Detect Plus Rapid Test (InBios, Seattle, WA) with confirmation via Trypanosoma cruzi enzyme immunoassay and T. cruzi immunoblot assay. Administration of a questionnaire regarding demographics and risk factors followed. A seroprevalence rate of 10.74% was found. Identified risk factors included prior residence in a palm leaf house (odds ratio [OR], 10.42; P = 0.003; 95% CI, 2.18-49.76), residence in a house with triatomines (OR, 9.03; P = 0.006; 95% CI, 1.90-42.88), and history of triatomine bite (OR, 9.52; P = 0.009; 95% CI, 1.75-51.77). Our findings emphasize the importance of this frequently underdiagnosed disease and help highlight the importance of early screening among high-risk populations.
