The history of cryptosporidiosis.
Review in Parasites & vectors, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this review, the history of cryptosporidiosis caused by parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium is outlined. These apicomplexan parasites evolved together with their vertebrate host during the early Cambrian period. The main etiological agents of human and bovine cryptosporidiosis are the zoonotic species C. parvum and the anthroponotic species C. hominis. Palaeoparasitological data indicate that humans have been parasitised by cryptosporidia since ancient times. Although the first Cryptosporidium species was described in 1907, the protozoan was only recognised as a gastrointestinal parasite of humans and cattle in the 1980s. The parasite became known to the general public primarily through media reports of waterborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Cryptosporidiosis is now acknowledged as a leading cause of diarrhoeal disease worldwide, with severe health implications for young, malnourished children and immunocompromised patients, and with severe economic consequences for cattle farmers.
