Concomitant diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi and HIV in a patient with neurologic manifestations: A case report.

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
American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease is a vector-borne infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, characterized by acute and chronic phases; reactivations due to immunosuppression can occur. In this case report, we confirm the presence of trypomastigotes of T. cruzi in a patient with neurologic manifestations. For this purpose, a battery of techniques, including direct examination of cerebrospinal fluid, Giemsa stains, sample cultures, serology and molecular techniques were employed. The patient was treated with nifurtimox for 6 months and started antiretroviral therapy as the concomitant diagnosis of HIV was also performed, showing no sequelae nor adverse effects. A follow-up of the patient´s health status was performed for 42 months.
