A fatal case of disseminated chronic Q fever: a case report and brief review of the literature.
Review in Infection, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundChronic Q fever is a rare infection, which mainly manifests as endocarditis, infection of vascular prostheses or aortic aneurysms. We present the case of a 74-year-old immunocompromised man with a haematologically disseminated Coxiella burnetii infection, which has never been reported before. CASE REPORT: He was diagnosed with a chronic Q fever infection of an aneurysm with an endovascular prosthesis in 2015, but he died despite optimal treatment. Autopsy revealed a disseminated C. burnetii infection, confirmed by a positive PCR on samples from several organs. Retrospectively, he already had complaints and signs of inflammation since 2012, for which he had already been admitted in February 2014. At that time, Q fever diagnostics using PCR, complement fixation assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on serum were all negative. In retrospect however, retesting available samples from February 2014 using immunofluorescence assay (IFA) already revealed serology compatible with chronic Q fever.
conclusionClinicians should be aware of this silent killer, especially in case of risk factors, and perform an appropriate diagnostic work-up for Q fever including IFA serology and PCR.
