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

purpose of reviewWe review the range of dermatological signs seen in Zika infection and the possible relationship between the rash and viremia. We also hoped to explore the utility of mucocutaneous manifestations in narrowing the differential diagnosis from other similar flaviviruses. RECENT

findingsClinical manifestations of Zika infection share many similarities with other mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue. These include non-specific symptoms such as a fever, rash, arthralgia, myalgia, and conjunctivitis. The morphology of the rash in Zika infection is not very specific and commonly described as maculopapular and centrifugal that usually extends to become diffuse. We reviewed 123 publications, encompassing a total of 368 Zika cases. One hundred seven cases with rash had sufficient data for detailed analysis. 8.4% of cases with rash had hemorrhagic manifestations such as palatal petechiae and bleeding ulcers. Only 20 reported cases were tested for viremia during presence of rash, and 70.6% of these cases were positive. While mucocutaneous complications are common in Zika infection, more research is necessary to determine the impact of rash on diagnosis, prognosis, and transmissibility in Zika infection.
