Disseminated Tuberculosis Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in a Pregnant Woman With Evans syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in underdeveloped and developing countries. Disseminated TB may induce uncommon and potentially fatal secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Timely treatment with anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) and downmodulation of the immune response is critical. However, corticosteroid treatment for TB-associated HLH remains controversial. Herein, we report a successful case of disseminated TB-associated HLH in a pregnant woman with Evans syndrome accompanied by a literature review. Case Presentation: A 26-year-old pregnant woman with Evans syndrome was transferred to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University because of severe pneumonia. She presented with cough, fever, and aggravated dyspnea. Nested polymerase chain reaction for Conclusions: Clinicians encountering patients with suspected TB accompanied by unexplainable inflammation not responding to ATT should consider complications with HLH. Timely administration of ATT combined with corticosteroids may result in a favorable outcome.
