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

Trichinellosis is a meat-borne zoonosis of ubiquitous distribution. The severity is variable, and fatalities may occur. Immune-mediated inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Thus, safe and effective compounds with anti-inflammatory properties are needed. Our study was designed to evaluate the effects of fluvoxamine as an adjuvant to albendazole during the intestinal and migratory phases of trichinellosis. Therefore, Trichinella spiralis-infected mice were treated with either fluvoxamine, albendazole, or a combination of both drugs. Notably, the parasite burden was reduced in the intestines and muscles of fluvoxamine-treated mice compared to the infected control, denoting a detrimental effect of the drug against Trichinella spiralis. Moreover, in comparison with the infected control, there was a marked improvement in intestinal and muscle inflammation with the treatment, evidenced by the reduction in COX-2 and TNF-α and the decrement of inflammatory infiltrates in tissues. The expression of iNOS was also reduced in the muscles. Treatment with fluvoxamine alleviated the oxidative stress in the intestines and muscles with a reduction in malondialdehyde and H
