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

Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, has been recognized as a human and zoonotic pathogen for almost 100 years. The increasing number of tularemia outbreaks in regions of Europe outside the classic endemic areas in recent years has prompted renewed interest in this rare infectious disease. We report on a case of oropharyngeal tularemia in an 18-year-old girl from Bavaria (Germany) who presented with tonsillopharyngitis and cervical lymphadenitis. Strongly positive serological tests and PCR detection of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica in lymph node tissue led to the diagnosis of tularemia. After long-term treatment with doxycycline, partly in combination with ciprofloxacin, the patient recovered completely. Clinical presentation, diagnostics, treatment and recent epidemiological aspects of tularemia in Europe are discussed in this case report and review of the literature.
