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

backgroundBiliary ascariasis is rare but remains the most common parasitic infection in remote areas and in people with poor medical conditions. Here, we reported a case of biliary ascariasis in order to raise awareness of possible parasitic infections. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old female was admitted to the emergency room of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University on 28 September 2017, with chief complaint of pain in the right upper abdomen. Ultrasonography of the abdomen showed that the upper segment of the common bile duct was slightly dilated with parallel tubular structures, indicative of biliary ascariasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed under general anesthesia on 29 September 2017, and an adult

conclusionThis report emphasizes the need for physicians to consider biliary ascariasis as a possible cause when treating cases of biliary colic.
