Cryptosporidium Diagnostic Assays: Microscopy.

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.
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
Stained microscopy of fecal smears was the cornerstone of Cryptosporidium diagnosis for many years and provides a low-cost method for detecting oocysts. The development and commercialization of improved enzyme immunosorbent assays (EIAs) for coproantigen detection provided an automatable method for mass testing and rapid diagnostics when incorporated onto a cartridge format. Similarly, immunochromatographic lateral flow (ICLF) assays enable rapid diagnostics. Nevertheless, it is important that positive reactions by EIAs or ICLF assays are confirmed. Here, we describe microscopical methods using tinctorial stains for the diagnosis of acute cryptosporidiosis and using immunofluorescent reagents for diagnosis or for confirmation of EIA- or ICLF-positive reactions.
