A Case Report of Sparganosis Mansoni Parasitic Infection of Tennon's Capsule.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: Sparganosis mansoni is a parasitic infection caused by the plerocercoid larva of Case Presentation: This case describes a rare presentation of ocular sparganosis in a middle-aged man with no known exposure to traditional risk factors. The live Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of ocular sparganosis, particularly when clinical signs are subtle and conventional tests are inconclusive. To our knowledge, based on a structured review of the available literature, this appears to be the first reported case of sparganosis localized exclusively to Tenon's capsule. Clinicians should consider parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of atypical subconjunctival or orbital masses, especially in endemic regions. Public health education regarding the risks of exposure to untreated water sources remains critical in preventing such infections.
