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

Cestodes are parasitic flatworms transmitted through fecal-oral transmission. Some patients may present with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms. Endoscopic identification of intestinal helminths is uncommon and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We describe the endoscopic findings of intestinal cestodiasis and highlight the role of advanced endoscopic imaging techniques in its in vivo recognition. We report the case of a patient with no significant medical history who presented with recent-onset intermittent gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal distension and bloating. Laboratory tests and computed tomography enterography showed no abnormalities. Using magnification and virtual chromoendoscopy, detailed visualization of a parasite attached to the terminal ileal mucosa was achieved. Colonoscopy revealed a thin helminth adherent to the terminal ileal mucosa. Virtual chromoendoscopy enhanced visualization of characteristic anatomical structures. This case highlights the diagnostic value of advanced endoscopic imaging techniques and underscores their usefulness for recognizing uncommon intestinal infections during routine colonoscopy.
