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 TcI genotype of Trypanosoma cruzi was identified in wild populations and those with a tendency toward domiciliation of Panstrongylus geniculatus in the department of Atlántico, Colombia. Through active searching and light traps in rural and urban areas of three municipalities, 33 specimens of P. geniculatus were captured: Usiacurí (2), Piojó (2), and Tubará (29), the latter collected in five households. DNA from the digestive content was analyzed by PCR using molecular markers (DNAk, Mini-Exon, 18S, DNAr). Infection by T. cruzi was evidenced in 75% of the specimens (25/33), all from Tubará, with exclusive identification of the TcI genotype. Additionally, entomological indices were calculated, with infestation, colonization, and natural infection indices of 60%, 33%, and 86%, respectively. These findings constitute the first report of T. cruzi TcI in the department of Atlántico and the first record of P. geniculatus in Usiacurí, highlighting a potential risk to Colombian public health.
