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

Background: Primary abdominal "egg-shelled" lesions with positive anti-echinococcus IgG antibody were misdiagnosed as echinococcosis. Case presentation: Herein we report two cases with primary abdominal "egg-shelled" lesions were misdiagnosed as echinococcosis. Conclusion: Enhanced CT scan and contrast-enhanced ultrasound scans are important for distinguishing echinococcosis disease from the other "egg-shelled" lesions. Surgical resection is the main treatment method for this disease. Minimally invasive surgery is recommended but should be performed by experienced surgical teams. Immunohistochemical examination is important for the pathologic diagnosis.
