[Eosinophilia in pulmonary infections].
Review in Der Pneumologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eosinophilia can be caused by a variety of diseases including allergies, autoimmune diseases, vasculitides, dermatoses, malignancies and drug-induced side effects as well as parasitic and non-parasitic infections. In patients returning from the tropics parasitic infections are the most frequent cause of eosinophilia. The extent of eosinophilia can provide information about the type of pathogen. The diagnostic approach to eosinophilia in travelers returning from the tropics primarily includes three stool examinations for worm eggs and, if necessary, serological tests for helminths. Additionally, a chest x‑ray, an ultrasound of the abdomen and an electrocardiogram (ECG) provide information about organ involvement. Recently, specialized laboratories use molecular techniques (multiplex PCR) to detect worm eggs and intestinal parasites in the stool, which provide a significantly higher sensitivity than traditional stool examination techniques. Cryptococcosis, endemic systemic mycoses (coccidioidomycosis, very rarely histoplasmosis) and invasive mould infections (Aspergillus fumigatus, Mucor spp.) are non-parasitic causes of eosinophilia in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).
