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

Schistosomiasis is the second most common human parasitic infection after malaria. The granulomatous inflammatory damage to the liver caused by its eggs and the resulting liver fibrosis are the basic characteristics of schistosomiasis and also the main cause of death. We report an elderly male patient from an endemic area who presented with abdominal distension and jaundice. He was initially diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, but postoperative biopsy indicated schistosomal granulomatous inflammation. This case has provided us with a deeper understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of hilar schistosomal granuloma.
