Fever, cough and gastrointestinal symptoms in a pregnant woman.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 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
Despite distinct diagnostic criteria, several gastrointestinal pathologies can masquerade haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) during the peripartum period. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy, HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) syndrome, miliary tuberculosis, visceral leishmaniasis, abdominal surgical emergencies, haemolytic anaemias and haematological malignancies may have clinical and laboratory presentation similar to that of HLH. In this report, we present the case of a 26-year-old woman with 38-weeks' gestation and abdominal pain, vomiting, intermittent fever and non-productive cough for 1-2 months. A thorough investigation suggested HLH and the patient was successfully treated with corticosteroids. This patient demonstrates the importance of a focused investigation strategy and timely management to prevent mortality and morbidity to both the mother and fetus in this rare and fatal disease.
