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 initial attachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites to host cells in vivo may be a critical event in the pathogenesis of this infection. The molecular basis of attachment and the conditions influencing this host-parasite interaction have not been studied systematically. Therefore, we have developed a sporozoite attachment model by using paraformaldehyde-fixed Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Attachment of sporozoites to fixed MDCK cells was quantitated by indirect immunofluorescence and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Attachment in this system was time, temperature (37 degrees C), and pH (7.2 to 7.6) dependent. Dose-response studies demonstrated that the attachment of sporozoites to fixed MDCK cells was a saturable process. Attachment was enhanced in the presence of 10 mM manganese, 1 mM calcium, and 1 to 10 mM zinc. Attachment of sporozoites to MDCK cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by polyclonal anti-Cryptosporidium antisera and by purified immunoglobulin G (IgG). This model will be useful for the study of parasite and host cell molecules involved in the initial interaction of C. parvum sporozoites with their target cell.
