Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense infection linked to chilled salmon consumption.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This is a case of a 40-year-old Japanese adult male who had acute onset watery diarrhoea with intermittent abdominal discomfort. Several days later, he found a 1 metre of tape-shaped object emerged from his anus and was eventually admitted to our hospital for further investigation. Stool examination revealed eggs of Diphyllobothrium with characteristic shape in his stool. After oral praziquantel administration, segments of proglottids were expelled from his anus. The proglottids were sent to the Infectious Disease Surveillance Centre of Japan, and DNA analysis of the proglottids proved to be those of Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense. The patient confessed that he had an eating habit of chilled salmon. His diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort were completely diminished after 1 day of oral praziquantel administration. He was successfully discharged from the hospital a few days later admission without any complication of the disease and the side effect of treatment.
