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

introductionCASE PRESENTATION: The patient was an 8-year-old boy from a rural area of South Africa who presented to an academic hospital with a bladder mass and history of enuresis in September 2016. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME: The source of infection in the patient was traced to consumption of unpasteurised milk from a local farmer. The patient was treated with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily and rifampicin 600 mg daily for 6 weeks and completed treatment, however he was not followed up at our hospital. The laboratory personnel, however, did not handle the specimen as a Biosafety Level 3 pathogen as this organism is not commonly encountered; they were provided with prophylaxis for brucellosis (rifampicin and doxycycline).
