Uncommon presentations of ascariasis: A case series including gallbladder ascariasis and Löffler's syndrome.
Article in Tropical parasitology. 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
Gallbladder ascariasis is an uncommon manifestation of ascaris lumbricoides infection, typically seen in the endemic regions. Even rarer is the concurrent presence of Löffler's syndrome. We report the two cases - the first, a 92-year-old male, presented with typical biliary colic and was diagnosed with gallbladder ascariasis. The second, a 38-year-old female, presented with respiratory symptoms and was found to have ground-glass opacities on high-resolution computed tomography and peripheral eosinophilia, later associated with gallbladder ascariasis on imaging. Both cases were managed conservatively with anthelminthic therapy and supportive care. This series highlights both the hepatobiliary and pulmonary presentations of ascaris lumbricoides infection.
