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: Cerebral schistosomiasis is a rare but severe manifestation of Case description: A 3-year-old girl from a rural area in Sichuan, China, presented with a 3-month history of unstable walking, left facial paralysis, drowsiness, and intermittent fever. Brain MRI revealed giant polycystic lesions in the right temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, suggestive of an abscess with ependymitis. Despite no history of travel to endemic areas or known freshwater exposure, the patient was diagnosed with cerebral schistosomiasis due to Conclusion: This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of cerebral schistosomiasis, particularly in non-endemic areas or in the absence of a clear history of freshwater exposure. Early surgical intervention combined with praziquantel treatment can lead to favorable outcomes, even in severe cases with extensive brain involvement.
