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

Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal parasite that can cause fatal opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Here we report an immunocompromised patient with glioblastoma who developed disseminated strongyloidiasis 6 weeks after completion of standard radiotherapy and concurrent temozolomide chemotherapy. She was effectively treated with albendazole and ivermectin. Strongyloidiasis should be considered in patients being treated for glioma who have lived or traveled to high risk areas and developed gram negative sepsis, along with gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms, skin rash or SIADH.
