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

Acute balanoposthitis is a common inflammatory condition in children, typically caused by infectious agents. Penile infestation by fly larvae is an extremely rare etiology, imposing difficulty with diagnosis and treatment in endemic areas. We describe the case of severe acute balanoposthitis in a toddler from Ambo town, Ethiopia, as a result of myiasis caused by tumbu fly larva. The larva was completely removed, and circumcision was done. This instance emphasizes how crucial it is to take myiasis into account in the differential of balanoposthitis in endemic areas.
