Comorbid early esophageal cancer and Gongylonema pulchrum infection: a case report.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundGongylonema pulchrum is a zoonotic parasite rarely found in humans. To date, there have been no reports on the carcinogenic properties of G. pulchrum, and there are few reports overall on the relationship between esophageal cancer and parasites. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes the first case of esophageal gongylonemiasis coexisting with early esophageal cancer. The patient had no high-risk factors for esophageal cancer, such as smoking, flushing after drinking, or tumor history. We speculate the existence of unknown links between esophageal cancer and parasitic infection in this patient. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsWe report the first case of a human presenting both esophageal G. pulchrum infection and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with the hope that it may provide evidence for a new hypothesis of tumorigenesis.
