Article in Vector borne and zoonotic diseases (Larchmont, N.Y.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04706819 (Clinical, Laboratory and Imaging Features, Treatment Trends and Long Term Outcomes in Patients With Parenchymal and Extraparenchymal Neurocysticercosis-A Registry Based Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) has a wide spectrum of neurologic and psychiatric manifestations, including epileptic seizures, high intracranial pressure, cognitive dysfunction, and meningoencephalitis. This study presents the clinical diagnosis of 2539 NCC patients in Shandong Province, Eastern China, from 1997 to 2015. The diagnosis was based primarily on clinical features, neuroimaging, immunology, and electroencephalogramy studies. In all age groups, seizures were found to be the most common manifestation, followed by headaches, memory loss, and limb numbness, and disability. After antiparasitic treatment, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed that most of the lesions had been completely absorbed in 2106 (82.95%) patients, most of the lesions had been absorbed and a small proportion was converted into calcifications in 433 (17.05%) cases. Indirect hemagglutination (IHA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and circulating antigen (CAg) serum tests initially gave 76.45%, 86.37%, and 80.66% positive results, respectively. After antiparasitic therapy, the positive rates of the IHA, ELISA, and CAg tests were 74.77%, 84.70%, and 3.75%, respectively, showing no significant difference in antibody levels (
