Viruses of parasites: A roadmap toward diagnostic and therapeutic development.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
With few preventive and therapeutic solutions available, parasites remain associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences, especially in impoverished communities in tropical areas. The discovery that parasites host viruses, and that these parasite viruses can contribute to diseases, has triggered a paradigm shift in thought and action, whereby parasite viruses are being assessed as targets for diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive interventions. This review lays out critical steps needed to discover and characterize viruses of parasites, highlighting challenges and identifying opportunities through examples of virus discoveries that fill the gap in our incomplete understanding of parasite pathogenicity.
