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

We analyzed the occurrence, clinical and physical features, laboratory findings, diagnostic criteria, reaction to therapy and prognosis of 15 cases Penecilliosis marneffei. Four were localized infection on skin, eleven were systemic infection, all cases were found in Guangdong province of China. We found that males were predominant in infection compared with females in 15 patients, and all patients observed had different occupations. The patients with AIDS as underlying disease were commonly drivers or unemployed. Thirteen of 15 patients had underlying diseases, i.e., connective tissue disease, aplastic anemia, kidney transplant, AIDS. Clinical features showed different symptoms, including weight loss, high fever, skin lesions, and respiratory system symptoms. Seven of 15 patients received antifungal therapy, the remaining eight patients did not receive therapy for different reasons. Nine of the patients died five recovered. Fifteen isolates were cultured from skin lesions, blood, bone marrow, peritoneum dialysis and pleural effusion and were confirmed to be Penicillium marneffei by morphology, thermal dimorphism, pathology and DNA sequence analysis. This report indicates that Penicillium marneffei may exist in nature in Guangdong province of SE China.
