Huge Colonic Granuloma of Schistosomiasis Mimicked Cancer in a 10-Years-Old Child: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: Schistosomiasis is a trematodes infection more prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas such as Yemen. Giant colonic polyp manifestations of intestinal bilharziasis are uncommon, difficult to differentiate from other colonic polyps, and can mimic cancer. Case Report: A 10-year-old child presented with chronic abdominal pain that started ten months ago. The patient had a family history of lymphoma in his brother. The computed tomography scan showed a sigmoid luminal mass measuring 10×3 cm with significant lumen narrowing and diffuse circumferential wall thickening of the sigmoid colon, hepatomegaly, and multiple perilesional, para-hepatic, and pulmonary lymph nodes enlargements. The mass was morphologically mimicked cancer and proved to be of bilharzial etiology ( Conclusion: Even though the bilharzial colonic polyps are rare, it is challenging to differentiate them from other malignant colonic polyps. Clinicians should have a high suspicion regarding its manifestations to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions, especially in an endemic area, even in patients with a strong family history of cancer.
