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

Introduction: Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), infection of The case: We report a case of 38-years-old woman assessed for a 10 year history of infertility. On ultrasound, multiple cystic formations were observed in the ovary. Histology after oophorectomy to exclude malignancy showed granulomatous formations surrounding Discussion: Ectopic Schistosome oviposition, seen in the ovary and fallopian tubes as in our case, can be a potential cause of reproductive organ damage and complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and even maternal death. Conclusions: More studies are needed on ovarian FGS and its impact on women fertility to guide specific interventions targeting vulnerable population of childbearing age, contributing to the NTD WHO 2030 aim of eliminating schistosomiasis as a matter of public health.
