Worm in the Water: Diagnosing Urinary Ascariasis in an Elderly Patient Through Routine Microscopy.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ascariasis is primarily an intestinal parasitic infection, with ectopic migration to the genitourinary tract, representing an uncommon clinical entity. Such presentations are infrequently reported and may pose a diagnostic challenge, particularly in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms. We report a case of an 88-year-old female from a suburban region of Nepal, who presented with bilateral iliac pain and dysuria of three days' duration. Physical examination was notable for mild lower abdominal tenderness, with stable hemodynamic parameters. Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilic predominance. Urine microscopy demonstrated the presence of a motile helminth, subsequently identified as
