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

Scrub typhus (ST), hitherto absent from many parts of India, is now recently being recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the country. Its diverse clinical presentations, low of the index of suspicion by the treating physician, and lack of diagnostic testing in many parts of the country result in delayed treatment, leading to a host of complications. We here report such a complication, where ST manifested with a large intracerebral hemorrhage, of which, to the best of our knowledge, only nine cases have been reported in the English language worldwide. Family physicians, who are the often first point of contact for treatment of febrile illness, as ST typically manifests, need to be aware of this entity to prevent such catastrophic consequences.
