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

Cysticercosis is one of the most common parasitic infections seen in the human population which most commonly affects the nervous system. Isolated cysticercosis of the liver is rare, and only less than five cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we describe an isolated cysticercosis of the liver. The cyst appeared as a firm nodule on the surface of the liver during a prepyloric perforation repair. The biopsy of the nodule revealed a cyst wall, and a contrast-enhanced computed tomography postoperative showed cysts in the liver. The patient was further evaluated with whole-body imaging which did not reveal any other cysts elsewhere.
