Peritonitis and appendiceal perforation due to an uninvited guest Ascaris lumbricoides.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Parasitic infections continue to be a weakness for developing countries since the lack of hygiene and clean water can affect the health of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable. Most Ascaris lumbricoides infections are mild; however, in rare cases, when the infection is severe enough, the parasites can cause obstruction or even perforation of the intestinal wall, leading to potentially fatal outcomes. We present the case of a 65-year-old who lives in a remote area far from the city, without access to clean water. He became infected with Ascaris lumbricoides and developed peritonitis due to it. After prompt treatment, he recovered completely.
