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

Cysticercosis is a neglected tropical disease set as health priority by WHO. Most of the reported cases included isolated types of cysticercosis affecting the skin, the eyes or the brain . Disseminated types, however, are rare. We here report a case of disseminated cysticercosis affecting the brain, the eyes and the skin in a Senegalese female patient aged 66 years admitted with headaches and chronic seizures. Clinical examination showed cerebellar syndrome associated with generalized and painless nodular subcutaneous lesions. Diagnosis was confirmed based on histopathological examination of skin biopsy which showed cysticerci. Patient's outcome was good under albendazole therapy.
