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

Background: Fascioliasis is a parasitic zoonosis endemic to South America, caused by Case presentation: A 38-year-old man from a rural area endemic for Fasciola hepatica presented with progressive right upper quadrant abdominal pain, dizziness, and fatigue. Physical examination revealed pallor and localized tenderness. Laboratory studies showed severe normocytic anemia (hemoglobin: 6.8 g/dL) and marked eosinophilia (2600 cells/μL). Abdominal CT revealed a large subcapsular hepatic hematoma with hemoperitoneum. Given the eosinophilia and epidemiological background, a parasitic cause was suspected. Western blot serology confirmed Conclusion: This case underscores the need to consider parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of unexplained hepatic lesions with eosinophilia, especially in endemic areas. Early recognition enables effective non-surgical management.
