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

Fasciolosis is a major cause of food-borne parasitic zoonosis. It primarily affects ruminants but also infects humans. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal liver images with prominent eosinophilia. We herein report a 77-year-old Japanese livestock farmer, who experienced fasciolosis reinfection. Environmental investigation of his residence revealed that both intermediate host snails and sika deer, a natural final host, inhabited his house. In addition, cattle were infected with Fasciola. Based on these findings, we concluded that his work place was accidentally contaminated with Fasciola metacercariae.
