Gastrointestinal complications of schistosomiasis.
Article in Current gastroenterology reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Schistosomiasis is an important disease in many parts of the world and has affected the course of human history many times over. The parasitic infection is acquired during contact with infected water. A chronic inflammatory response to schistosome eggs, mediated by both cellular and humoral mechanisms, is the root of the pathology seen in schistosomiasis. Hepatosplenic disease results in intrahepatic presinusoidal portal hypertension. The resultant esophageal and gastric varices are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Standard treatment guidelines for managing varices can be applied to patients with schistosomiasis. Coinfection with viral hepatitis results in liver disease that progresses more rapidly and is more difficult to treat. Intestinal schistosomiasis may be confused with other disease states and can be an important cause of morbidity, especially in heavily infected patients. Diagnosis relies on demonstration of schistosome eggs in feces or tissue. Praziquantel is the treatment of choice. The development of a vaccine for schistosomiasis is an important goal in the attempt to control this disease.
