From: Nifurtimox versus benznidazole or placebo for asymptomatic Trypanosoma cruzi infection (Equivalence of Usual Interventions for Trypanosomiasis - EQUITY): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

  1. 1. Needed for each comparison group, based on assumptions of trypanocidal effect explained in the text, including 5% of participant losses
