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

Tularemia has been well described clinically in the United States since the early 1900s. Worldwide, the infection has manifested in a variety of forms through various vectors with geography and local prevalence often considered in the diagnostic work-up. We present a case of a 57-year-old patient who lived in an area with low tularemia infection rates and presented with fever and a tender, swollen elbow. Though initially diagnosed with cellulitis, she was eventually found to have tularemia after further interviewing and questioning, followed by successful treatment with doxycycline. A thorough history including exposures and daily activities should always be considered in an effort to rule out rare infections, even in areas of low disease prevalence.
