1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo describe dynamic ultrasonographic findings in travel-associated subcutaneous myiasis.

methodsA 54-year-old man with persistent nodular lesions after rural travel underwent gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography using a 13-MHz high-frequency linear transducer.

resultsImaging demonstrated an echogenic subcutaneous structure with posterior acoustic shadowing, surrounding hyperemia, and real-time rhythmic internal movement, supporting larval infestation.

conclusionRecognition of internal larval motion on ultrasonography may help distinguish myiasis from abscess, foreign body or vascularized soft-tissue masses and guide definitive mechanical extraction.
