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

introductionAnaplasmosis is a tick-borne illness caused by CASE: A 72-year-old male presented in August with acute left-sided weakness. Patient was found to have an acute kidney injury (creatinine 5.3 mg/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count 25,000/mL), and rhabdomyolysis (CPK 25,000 units/L). Workup for an acute stroke was negative. Peripheral blood smears showed DISCUSSION: The typical presentation of Anaplasmosis is a nonspecific febrile illness with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Although headache is common, stroke-like symptoms are a rare but known complication. Elderly and immunocompromised patients living in heavily wooded areas are at higher risk for Anaplasmosis. Delayed diagnosis was common (55 % of case review) and associated with worse prognosis.
