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

With increasing international travel and migration, tropical and infectious diseases once largely confined to specialist institutes now present more widely. Amoebiasis is a potentially dangerous example since it may closely mimic the presentation of inflammatory bowel disease. Misdiagnosis and treatment with immunosuppressants can result in fulminant amoebiasis and death. This review considers the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of intestinal and extraintestinal amoebiasis. It is written primarily for gastroenterologists, surgeons and acute physicians.
