Habitual Hyperthermia: An Interpretive Paradigm of the 20th Century? Not Really.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Prolonged and unexplained fevers in young adults are uncommon, especially when access to diagnostic tests is simplified. Therefore, the definition of unexplained fever depends on the volume of tests performed. However, low-grade fever has not been a priority in research. Management of low-grade fever [eg, an oral temperature of ≥37.8°C (100°F) and <38.3°C (101°F) at any time of the day] is not codified. The presented case of a 37-year-old nurse with an intermittent fever for three months, with no clear diagnostic evidence and no elevated markers of inflammation, illustrates "habitual hyperthermia" (HH)-retained after ordering tests sequentially in town and at the hospital. HH was made known by Prof. H.A. Reimann (1897-1986) an American virologist, although the diagnostic criteria are fallible. The article reviews the criteria and then discusses how to select diagnostic tests in family practice for prolonged fever in young adults without clinical signs of orientation. Given the polymorphism of febrile illnesses, the principle of parsimony must be transgressed, and in the event of an early suspicion of HH, surveillance is a rule to be further amended.
