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.

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.

Abstract

Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis can be challenging to recognize, which often leads to a delay in diagnosis. We report 3 cases presenting as chronic headache disorders that highlight the unique manifestations seen with this form of neurocysticercosis and the role that the infectious diseases consultant can play in ensuring a timely diagnosis.
