Clinical phenotypes and clustering patterns of human toxocariasis in PubMed-indexed case reports: an Antigravity-assisted systematic scoping review.
Article in Ewha medical journal, 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
purposeThis study aimed to characterize co-occurrence patterns, statistical associations, and phenotypic clusters of clinical manifestations reported in human toxocariasis case reports indexed in PubMed from 2005 through 2025, inclusive.
methodsPubMed-indexed case reports from 2005 through 2025 were identified using the query ("Toxocariasis" OR "Toxocara") AND "Case Reports" [Publication Type] AND 2005:2025[dp] AND ffrft[Filter]. Free full-text articles were retrieved through PubMed Central and other links indexed in PubMed using the ffrft filter. After 7 nonhuman reports and 5 reports without objective diagnostic confirmation were excluded, 139 case reports were included. Antigravity was used to support data extraction, standardization, statistical analysis, and figure generation. Clinical features were mapped to standardized symptom and organ-involvement variables. Pairwise co-occurrence was assessed using 2×2 contingency tables and Fisher's exact test; association strength was measured using Pearson correlation coefficients; and k-means clustering was used to identify distinct clinical phenotypes.
resultsFour principal clusters were identified: subclinical disease, ocular larva migrans, visceral larva migrans, and neurotoxocariasis/multisystemic disease. The ocular larva migrans and visceral larva migrans clusters were largely distinct, whereas ocular features were frequently co-reported in the neurotoxocariasis/multisystemic cluster. Eosinophilia was strongly associated with systemic manifestations, including fever, dyspnea, cough, pruritus, hepatomegaly, headache, and meningitis, but was not significantly associated with ocular features. Neurotoxocariasis-related features, including headache, meningitis, and seizures, clustered closely.
conclusionThis artificial intelligence-assisted scoping review identified exploratory clinical association and clustering patterns in human toxocariasis case reports. These findings may support clinical awareness, but they require validation in curated clinical datasets before they are used for diagnosis, risk stratification, or practice guidance.
