Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of bacteremic brucellosis.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo retrospectively investigate the epidemiological features, clinical manifestations and laboratory characteristics of bacteremic brucellosis.
methodsBrucellosis patients admitted to our clinic from January 2015 to December 2017 were included in the study. Patient electronic medical records were reviewed for epidemiological features, clinical manifestations, and laboratory findings.
resultsA total of 132 brucellosis patients were analyzed (64 cases with bacteremic brucellosis and 68 cases with nonbacteremic brucellosis). The median duration from exposure to onset of symptoms was 6.9 weeks (range: 1 day to 32 weeks) and 21.9 weeks (range: 1-76 weeks) in patients with bacteremic and nonbacteremic brucellosis, respectively. More bacteremic than nonbacteremic patients presented with fever and chills. Arthritis was observed in 34 (25.8%) patients, and was more commonly observed in nonbacteremic patients. Using C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) as serological markers, the areas under the receiving operating characteristic curves were 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54-0.73] and 0.61 (95% CI: 0.51-0.70), respectively, for distinguishing bacteremic from non-bacteremic brucellosis.
conclusionFever and chills were frequently observed in bacteremic brucellosis patients, whereas arthritis was more common in nonbacteremic brucellosis patients. Serum CRP and PCT can be used as potential serological markers for diagnosing bacteremic brucellosis.
