Intermittent Ileitis and Partial Small-Bowel Obstruction Due to Intestinal Helminth Infection Mimicking Crohn's Disease.

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
Intestinal helminth infections may present with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and can mimic inflammatory or obstructive bowel pathology, leading to diagnostic challenges. A 27-year-old previously healthy male presented with nine months of intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating with concern for partial small-bowel obstruction. He reported frequent hunting and environmental exposure associated with field dressing and preparation of wild game. Imaging demonstrated distal ileal wall thickening with upstream dilatation, and laboratory studies revealed marked peripheral eosinophilia. Despite negative stool ova and parasite testing performed after endoscopic retrieval of the parasite, colonoscopy identified a live helminth in the terminal ileum, which was retrieved endoscopically. Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated an intestinal nematode most compatible with
