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

Melioidosis caused by the environmental Gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei is endemic in northern Australia and Southeast Asia and is being described increasingly from south and west coastal regions of India. Melioidosis is known to have high mortality (14-50%) and the risk factors associated with it are diabetes mellitus and heavy alcohol abuse. Melioidosis primarily presents as pneumonia, genitourinary infection and bacteremia. We present a case of Melioidosis from North India, a 56-year-old diabetic male, presenting with fever and jaundice. His blood culture was positive for the B. pseudomallei. The hepatic involvement was in the form of jaundice with serum bilirubin value of more than 12 mg/dL, hepatic enzymes more than ten times high and without hepatic abscess. He improved with intravenous antibiotics with complete normalization of liver function tests.
