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

This article reports the course of a complicated malaria in a 41-year-old male patient. After spending several months in Mali, the patient decompensated shortly after onset of the first symptoms. Under the signs of a multi-organ failure and with an initial parasitic load of 25%, the patient developed a microcirculation disturbance in the acra. In addition to sepsis-induced disseminated microthrombosis, high-dose catecholamine treatment contributes to the genesis of this disease with a high clinical probability. To improve the peripheral blood circulation, intravenous treatment with the synthetic prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) alprostadil with 20 μg (1-0-1) was carried out over a period of 21 days. Relevant circulatory depression as a side effect did not occur. The microcirculatory disturbances were no longer evident and the necrosis healed. Furthermore, the clearance course of the plasmodia was delayed under artemisinin-based combination therapy. Prolonged hemolysis required multiple transfusions.
