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

background

objectiveTo provide clinical guidance on the prevention, assessment and management of disseminated strongyloidiasis.

methodsA literature review was conducted to evaluate the current evidence and to identify any systematic reviews, case reports, guidelines and peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed medical literature. The Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) assembled a working group to develop this statement, which was then critically reviewed and approved by all CATMAT members. RECOMMENDATIONS: CATMAT recommends that screening for strongyloidiasis should be considered for individuals with epidemiologic risk and/or co-morbidities that place them at risk for

conclusionStrongyloidiasis is relatively widespread in the global migrant population and screening for the disease should be based on an individual risk assessment. A practical tool for the clinician to use in the prevention, assessment and management of disseminated strongyloidiasis in Canada is now available.
