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

Onchocerca lupi is an emerging zoonotic parasite in the southwestern United States that typically involves a single site in the head and neck region and is not known to recur after treatment. Human infection with O. lupi is reported in seven cases in the endemic southwestern United States and others from the Old World. Most U.S. cases involved the head and neck, with several presenting with neuroinvasive cervical disease, which can lead to spinal cord injury and meningitis. Recurrent infection has not been described in humans after surgical intervention and/or anthelmintic therapy; however, one case required revision surgery to excise residual worm fragments and inflammation. We present a case of either relapse or reinfection with O. lupi at a separate anatomic location nearly 3 years after completing treatment.
