Acari-Induced Diarrhea in Young Adult Patients: Case Report From Indonesia.
Article in The American journal of 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
BACKGROUND Intestinal acariasis is caused by the ingestion of mite-contaminated food and may lead to symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Storage mites can survive in the human intestine and may contribute to intestinal acariasis-associated diarrhea. However, awareness of this condition as a potential cause of diarrhea remains limited. These mites, particularly Tyrophagus putrescentiae and other storage mites, are commonly found in food products such as flour and grains. CASE REPORT This report describes 3 cases of intestinal acariasis. Complete clinical data were available for the first case; only demographic information (age and sex) and stool laboratory findings were available for the second and third cases. All 3 patients presented with diarrhea and exhibited mites in their stool specimens. The etiologic agents in the first 2 patients were identified as Tyrophagus spp. The arthropod detected in the third patient could not be identified because the specimen was fragmented. Mites may induce intestinal inflammation, mucosal necrosis, and immune activation through their metabolic products. In intestinal acariasis, mites can damage the intestinal mucosa, penetrate the intestinal muscle layer, and further stimulate immune responses through their metabolites and body components. CONCLUSIONS Mites should be considered a potential cause of diarrhea. Further investigation into intestinal acariasis-associated diseases is warranted.
