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

Fasciolosis is a zoonotic infection caused by trematodes fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantic, and humans are incidental hosts. Although infrequently reported in developed nations, it is common in developing countries. Few cases have been reported in Africa, specifically in Ethiopia. This article reports a case of a 4-year-old Ethiopian child who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. His complete blood count showed eosinophilia, and imaging demonstrated lesions at peripheral subcapsular parenchyma and central along the biliary tree. Serologic tests confirmed liver fluke infection with fasciola hepatica indirect hemagglutination test titer of 1/4000. Computed tomography imaging appearances of hepatic fasciolosis depend on the phase and course of the disease and should be considered in differential diagnosis of lesions along the biliary tree.
