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

backgroundSchistosomiasis or snail fever is an endemic parasitic infection caused by various trematodes of the genus CASE REPORT: Herein, we present a case of a 14-year old boy who had intermittent passage of blood in urine for the past 3 years. Clinical examination and initial investigations did not reveal any abnormality. Bladder schistosomiasis was suspected after contrast-enhanced computed tomography and later confirmed by cystoscopic biopsy.

conclusionsBladder schistosomiasis is a prevalent disease in the developing countries, but in non-endemic areas diagnosis may be often missed. The diagnosis should be considered in patients presenting with sporadic episodes of haematuria who have immigrated from or travelled to areas where this disease is endemic.
