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

Lyme's disease also known as Erythema chronicum Migrans, is a multisystem infectious disease caused by the spirochete "Borrelia burgdorferi" which is transmitted by "Ixodes" tick, with both specific and nonspecific manifestations. Nervous system involvement occurs in 10%-15% of untreated patients and typically involves lymphocytic meningitis, cranial neuritis, and/or polyradiculitis. Here, we are reporting an interesting and challenging case of Neuro-Borreliosis in a young officer cadet, meeting the description for Bannwarth's syndrome and presenting initially as a surgical emergency followed by paraparesis. The diagnosis was finally clinched based on clinical profile of Chronic Myeloradiculopathy with focal myositis in the setting of recent outdoor camping, and confirmed by demonstrating high IgG antibody titres in serum and Cerebro spinal fluid (CSF). The officer cadet was treated successfully with a 6 week course of Ceftriaxone and Doxycycline, and went back to full training.
