Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2015. 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
objectiveTularemia is a bacterial zoonosis caused by
methodsTwenty-five patients who had a diagnosis of tularemia between 2010 and 2013 were included in the study. The patients were assessed with respect to their demographic data; presenting complaints; leukocyte, sedimentation, and C-reactive protein (CRP) values; applied treatment protocols; duration of stay in the hospital; and histopathological examinations.
resultsFifty-seven patients were admitted to the health department of our clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of tularemia, and the diagnosis of tularemia was serologically confirmed for 25 patients. Pharyngeal mucosa cultures, centrifuged serum samples, and abscess and/or pathological samples were collected from all the patients. Thirteen patients were female, and 12 were male. The ages of the patients were between 10 and 75 (average 33.12±15.53) years. The most frequent (100%) symptom among the patients was swelling in the neck. While abscess drainage was performed in 12 patients (48%), the neck mass was excised in 3 patients (12%), and 10 patients (40%) were given only medical treatment. According to the guide of tularemia management by the Ministry of Health, treatment using suitable doses of streptomycin was started for all the patients; in addition, for 8 (32%) patients, doxycycline treatment was added.
conclusionIn recent years, tularemia in our country has been increasing at some specific locations, and those patients are frequently admitted to polyclinics with a complaint of swelling in the neck. In endemic areas in particular, tularemia should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with abscess in the neck.
