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
Thelazia callipaeda, a zoonotic nematode, primarily infests the ocular tissues of mammals, occasionally humans. Infestations in infants under 1 year of age are rarely reported. This case describes an 8‑month-old male infant diagnosed with ocular T. callipaeda infestation in Hubei, China. The infant was brought to the hospital by his mother, who reported that he had been rubbing his right eye for 3 days, accompanied by increased ocular discharge and mild tearing. Upon examination, a whitish, motile, thread-like worm was observed in the conjunctival sac of the right eye. During ophthalmological surgical exploration, a total of 10 worms were removed from the right eye, with 8 sent for identification. All 8 adult nematodes collected were morphologically identified as T. callipaeda, consisting of 4 females and 4 males. Following the removal of the nematodes, the infant's ocular symptoms rapidly resolved, with no recurrence noted during a 2-month follow-up.
