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

The syndrome of fever and pancytopenia is not infrequently encountered postliver transplant, and a broad differential list of infectious and noninfectious aetiologies can be invoked. A transplant patient is susceptible to more than 1 opportunistic infection or disease process. We described the diagnostic conundrums in managing our patient who ran a complex protracted course postliver transplant. He was diagnosed to have both disseminated tuberculosis and graft-versus-host disease, a rare complication after solid organ transplantation.
