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

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection caused by facultative intracellular bacteria of the genus Brucella. The ability of the organism to invade both phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells and survive in the intracellular environment makes brucellosis a systemic infection that can affect various organs of the body. Complications of brucellosis occur when the infection involves one or more focal body sites. Early identification of complications of brucellosis and initiation of appropriate treatment is the key to a better outcome. Here we present two cases of complicated brucellosis, both having multiple body site involvement.
