Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Sixty-six cases of Q fever in adults, serologically confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence, were studied to analyze the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease. Eighty-three percent of the patients were male, and the mean age was 44.7 years. Contact with animals was recorded in 24 patients. The main clinical form of presentation was pneumonia (37 cases); eight patients had hypoxia, and five had respiratory failure. The empirical treatment consisted of macrolides in 36% of cases. Evolution was favorable in all cases.
