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

backgroundSjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands. And histoplasmosis is an invasive mycosis caused by the saprophytic dimorphic fungus CASE SUMMARY: We report a 37-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital with exacerbating fatigue, somnolence, and pancytopenia as the main symptoms. She was eventually diagnosed with DH based on pancytopenia, splenomegaly, and findings of bone marrow smears. The atypical clinical symptoms made the diagnosis process more tortuous. Unfortunately, she died of respiratory failure on the day the diagnosis was confirmed.

conclusionWe present a rare and interesting case of DH in a PSS patient. This case updates the geographic distribution of histoplasmosis in China, and expands the clinical manifestations of DH in PSS, highlighting the significance of constantly improving the understanding of PSS with DH.
