[Exanthems and fever in travellers returning from the tropics].
Article in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Dengue fever with its subtle rash is today more common than malaria in travellers returning to Europe from the tropics (meta-analysis Geo Sentinel network). Up to 5 % of all safari tourists experience African tick bite fever during or soon after their journey; it is caused by rickettsiae and clinically presents with exanthems, focal necrotizing vasculitis (eschar, tache noir), lymphadenopathy and moderate fever. Typhoid fever is a severe infectious disease is which is difficult to diagnosis at first assessment. The presence of rose spots, which may be found in up to 33 % of patients with typhoid fever, can lead the way to diagnosis. Exanthems can be subtle and may occur weeks after infection without any other distinctive clinical sign. Particular importance in travel medicine has to be paid to acute HIV infection and secondary syphilis after exposition and infection in the tropics. Also the highly contagious infectious diseases of childhood as measles and rubeola have to be taken into account in adults with no or insufficient vaccination after a stay in tropical countries.
