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

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a disorder with a high eosinophilic count for which no identifiable cause is evident. Herein we report a case of a 47-year-old male with a background history of hypereosinophilia, who presented with sudden onset altered level of consciousness and drowsiness for 1-day duration associated with a gradual onset progressive memory loss for 1-month duration. Based on clinical, biochemical, and imaging studies, a diagnosis of Loffler's endomyocarditis was made for which he was treated with albendazole with diethylcarbamazine along with high-dose steroids. He made a successful recovery after 2 months of treatment.
