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

backgroundIntestinal parasitic infections caused by

methodsDiagnostic-accuracy study. The reference standard was consensus microscopy by two expert readers, with a third reader for discordant cases. An internal validation set (

resultsThe model achieved a mAP@0.30 of 98.3% (precision 98.2%; recall 96.4%). In internal validation,

conclusionsFenoParasite showed high agreement with consensus expert microscopy for both a protozoan and a helminth. Because the reference standard was expert microscopy rather than a molecular assay, the reported performance estimates quantify agreement with microscopic reading rather than absolute diagnostic accuracy. These findings remain preliminary. Multicenter validation against molecular reference standards is required before clinical implementation can be considered.
