Intestinal myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata in Nepal: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundIntestinal myiasis is a type of myiasis resulting from the accidental consumption of Clogmia albipunctata larvae. This type of myiasis generally displays symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention and discomfort, loss of appetite, weight loss, and intermittent diarrhea. It is a rare form of myiasis with relatively scarce literature in Nepal. CASE PRESENTATION: We report probably the first case of human intestinal myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata in Nepal. A 39-year-old nondiabetic female, Brahmin belonging to khas/arya ethnicity presented with complaints of abdominal discomfort, perianal itching, occasional nausea, and vomiting in the outpatient clinic of Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, Teku, Kathmandu. With an additional history of the passing of worms in stool, the sample was examined in the microbiology department, which revealed multiple larvae. Macroscopy followed by microscopic examination through wet mount preparation was performed, leading to the morphological identification of larva of Clogmia albipunctata. Diagnosis of a rare human intestinal myiasis was made, and the patient was advised to take ivermectin.
conclusionPersonal hygiene and sanitation, which prevent fly infestation, can help reduce the incidence of the disease.
