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

The present study was conducted to investigate the clinical profile, hematobiochemical alterations, and confirmation of Plasmodium bubalis infection by PCR and sequence analysis, as well as to detect Plasmodium bubalis and human Plasmodium species using a lateral flow assay targeting the Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) antigen in domestic Indian water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). Out of 56 suspected cases, five (8.93%) buffaloes were found positive for P. bubalis infection by PCR, while blood smear examination could detect only three (5.36%) buffaloes positive for P. bubalis infection. Moreover, the human rapid diagnostic test (RDT) targeting the pLDH antigen showed negative results for both P. bubalis and human Plasmodium species. The infected buffaloes showed clinical signs such as fever, tachycardia, tachypnoea and icteric or pale conjunctival mucous membranes. The important hematobiochemical changes observed in infected buffaloes includes marked anaemia, thrombocytopenia, hyperbilirubinemia and hypoalbuminemia. Sequence and evolutionary phylogenetic analyses revealed, for the first time, the prevalence of Plasmodium bubalis Type I infection in domestic Indian water buffaloes. The characteristic clinical signs, haemato-biochemical alterations, microscopic and molecular findings will be useful for early diagnosis and therapeutic management of bubaline malaria.
