Brucellosis in Saudi Children: Presentation, Complications, and Treatment Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background Brucellosis, an endemic disease in Saudi Arabia, has an infection rate of 70 per 100,000 people, with a varying morbidity rate in different parts of the country. The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological and clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment modalities, complications, and outcomes in children with brucellosis. Materials and methods The medical records of 153 patients attending King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2015 to January 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic data, laboratory test results, serum agglutination test titer, and the results of the blood cultures were obtained. The diagnosis of brucellosis was based on compatible signs and symptoms with a positive serology titer of ≥1:160 or a blood culture positive for
