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
Tungiasis is an ectoparasitic skin infestation caused by Tunga penetrans, predominantly affecting impoverished communities. In most cases, lesions are confined to the foot. Our case involves a 65-year-old para 8 woman who presented with a non-reducible stage four uterovaginal prolapse of 1-month duration, associated with intense vaginal itching. Examination revealed multiple nodules with whitish discs and central dark points on the prolapsed posterior vaginal wall. Under spinal anesthesia, surgical removal of embedded fleas was performed, followed by vaginal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, complete colpocleisis, and perineorrhaphy. The patient was stable postoperatively and discharged on the third day. This case highlights the rare occurrence of vaginal tungiasis complicating pelvic organ prolapse in elderly women and emphasize the importance of thorough evaluation and surgical management in endemic settings.
