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

In a recent issue of "The International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance" Prof. David Pritchard from the University of Nottingham offers his intriguing opinion on the current status of "worm therapy" and outlines future research priorities aimed at bringing this research area closer to the clinic. In this response article we discuss various aspects of the current state of the research field and offer some alternative viewpoints regarding the future of "worm therapy".
