Nucleoside Analogues for Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis Therapy: Current Status and Future Perspectives.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are two neglected tropical diseases that affect millions of people in low- and middle-income tropical countries. These diseases caused by protozoan parasites pose significant global health challenges, which have been exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics as current treatments are limited by toxicity and drug resistance. Nucleoside analogues, which have been extensively studied and successfully applied in antiviral and antitumor therapies, hold potential that has yet to be fully explored for treating these neglected diseases. In this review, we discuss the use of nucleoside analogues as promising therapeutic agents for Chagas disease and leishmaniasis. After briefly examining the pathology, progression, and current treatment options for these diseases, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the status of nucleoside analogues and explore their prospects. By outlining the current landscape and future directions, this review aims to guide research and development efforts towards more effective nucleoside-based treatments for Chagas disease and leishmaniasis.
