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

The misdiagnosis of intestinal schistosomiasis is not uncommon given its variety of clinical manifestations and often shares similarities with ulcerative colitis. While endoscopy aids in diagnosis, findings are often non-specific and correlation with histopathological features is crucial in arriving at an accurate diagnosis which is confirmed by the presence of schistosome ova within the lamina propria. In this case study, we report our experience with a 50-year-old woman, who had been residing in Singapore for more than a decade, presenting with recurrent episodes of bloody diarrhoea.
