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

Strongyloidiasis is traditionally regarded as a tropical disease; however, in the Valencian Community (Spain), it has historically been linked to localized endemic foci considered of declining relevance. This was a multicenter regional case series study across three hospitals including patients ≥16 years with strongyloidiasis defined by positive serology and/or parasitological confirmation diagnosed from 2015 to 2024. A total of 301 patients were included (median age 53 years (quartile 1-quartile 3, 40-72); 135 (44.9%) female). Most cases were autochthonous (176/299, 58.9%), while 123/299 (41.1%) occurred in migrants, predominantly from Latin America. Symptoms were present in 165/296 (55.7%), most frequently cutaneous (68/296, 23.0%) and gastrointestinal (62/296, 20.9%). Eosinophilia (>500 cells/µL) was observed in 144/298 (48.3%) and severe infection (hyperinfection syndrome) in 7/294 (2.4%). Annual diagnoses increased over time, with a significant temporal trend by case origin (
