1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cystoisosporiasis is caused by a coccidian parasite that is found worldwide and can cause diarrheal illness. It is more common in the immunocompromised, in whom it can cause extended and severe disease courses. Diagnosis is not always straightforward as oocytes are not always present in routine stool samples, but it is possible to visualize the organism with specialized staining techniques as well as within enterocytes on intestinal biopsies. We present a case in which this mode of diagnosis was crucial for determining the cause of diarrhea in a patient with HIV and CD4 count above 200 cells/mm
