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

backgroundThe rash in infectious mononucleosis is usually diffusely macular. MAIN OBSERVATIONS: A 15-year-old boy presented to us with high grade fever, sore throat, malaise, body aches, and polyarthralgia. He developed annular, erythematous, and non-scaly eruptions on chest and right arm. Blanching erythema was noted on his trunk. He had bilateral tender cervical lymph nodes, severe pharyngeal congestion, petechiae on soft palate, uvular edema, infraorbital edema, and marginal tender hepatomegaly. Investigations revealed lymphocytosis and activated atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral smear, and positive monospot test. The boy subsequently recovered in one week with total disappearance of his rash. Epstein-Barr virus-related infectious mononucleosis was considered the most likely diagnosis for our patient.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this atypical case is the third reported case of annular lesions in infectious mononucleosis. Dermatologists and other clinicians should be alerted to this special presentation of primary EBV infection.
