Article in Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background
methodsRetrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with
resultsSixty patients had a positive serology during this time period. Forty-seven of them had a more plausible alternative diagnosis and were not included in the study, leaving 13 patients for analyses; 46.2% (6/13) were male, mean age was 45.8 years old (range, 17-80 years old). Four patients (4/13, 30.8%) were asymptomatic, nine (9/13, 69.2%) presented with symptoms ranging from right upper quadrant abdominal pain (44.4%) and generalized pruritus (33.3%) to weight loss and night sweats (33.3%). The mean duration of symptoms until correct diagnosis was 8.9 months (range, 1-48 months). Five patients (5/13, 38.5%) had documented eosinophilia, four (4/13, 30.8%) elevated liver enzymes and seven (7/13, 53.8%) elevated cholestasis parameters. Mean antibody level on serology was 88 AU/mL (range, 3-134 AU/mL). Ultrasound was used most frequently (7/13, 53.8%), followed by magnetic resonance imaging (4/13, 30.8%), computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (3/13, 23.1%). The most common findings were bile duct dilatation, followed by hepatic lesions. Treatment consisted of Triclabendazole 10 mg/Kg. One patient needed a second treatment course for persistent disease. There were no recurrences.
