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

Lymphatic filariasis is an uncommon condition in Hong Kong and is currently considered as one of the neglected tropical diseases by the World Health Organization. Blood tests are available for diagnosis of acute infections, but false negative results can occur with chronic manifestations of lymphatic filariasis. We present a case which illustrates how radiological imaging can help with diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis.
