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

Anisakidosis is an acute and, less commonly, chronic gastrointestinal tract disease caused by the ingestion of nematode larvae contained within raw or undercooked seafood. We describe a case of chronic gastric anisakidosis diagnosed by endoscopic resection of submucosal nodules in a patient with a multi-year history of epigastric abdominal pain. This case illustrates the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for this diagnosis, even in patients with a remote history of seafood consumption or a chronic presentation of abdominal pain.
