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

Pulmonary cysticercosis is one of the rare complications of cysticercosis that occurs worldwide, especially in developing countries. Its clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic, pleural effusion, and constitutional symptoms to incidental pulmonary nodule. Here, we report pulmonary cysticercosis detected as a pulmonary nodule in computed tomography. Positron emission tomography revealed that the nodule was non-FDG avidity. However, the slow-growing pattern of the nodule raised a concern to the clinician to achieve definite diagnosis by surgical biopsy. Histopathological examination revealed cysticercosis. The patient was treated with praziquantel.
