Review in New microbes and new infections, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Methods: We conducted a systematic review of case reports and case series following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched through December 2024. Eligible studies included patients with SHS or disseminated strongyloidiasis and confirmed thrombotic events. Data on demographics, risk factors, infection characteristics, thrombosis, treatment, and outcomes were extracted and narratively synthesized. Results: Fourteen studies describing 16 cases of SHS with thrombosis published between 2013 and 2024 were included. Median age was 66 years (range 40-87), with a slight male predominance. Most patients (68.8%) were immunosuppressed, primarily due to corticosteroid therapy. Thrombotic events were heterogeneous, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, portal and renal vein thrombosis, intracardiac thrombi, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Multifocal thrombosis (arterial + venous) occurred in 3/16 (18.8%) cases; shock was present in 5/16 (31.3%). Ivermectin was the mainstay of therapy, alone or with albendazole, although treatment regimens were inconsistently reported. Anticoagulation was frequently initiated, and two cases required thrombectomy. Despite treatment, overall mortality reached 31.3%, particularly among immunosuppressed patients with shock or disseminated thrombosis. Conclusions: SHS can be complicated by diverse and often fatal thrombotic events, especially in immunosuppressed individuals. Clinical suspicion should be heightened in patients from endemic regions or those receiving corticosteroids. Early empiric antiparasitic therapy, timely investigation for thrombotic complications, and individualized anticoagulation strategies are essential to improving outcomes. Given the reliance on case-level evidence, prospective studies and standardized reporting are urgently needed to characterize better risk factors, optimal management, and prognosis of this neglected but critical complication.
