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

Spinal cord inflammation is a rare presentation of schistosomiasis infection. The present report describes the case of a young patient presenting subacute medullary symptoms revealing extensive longitudinal myelitis related to schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. The diagnosis was based on detection of parasite eggs in stool. The patient was treated with Praziquantel, corticosteroids and plasma exchanges, leading to a favorable clinical course.
