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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThis study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging features of TM mycosis complicated with bone destruction with the aim to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment.

methodsData of hospitalized TM-infected patients with bone destruction from October 2012 to May 2019 were collected. The clinical and imaging features of the disease were comprehensively analyzed.

resultsAll 35 patients were non-HIV infected, but some had underlying co-morbid illnesses. The duration of the disease was 1-36 months (median: 5 months). Fever, anemia, weight loss, and respiratory symptoms were the main clinical manifestations of the patients. There were 18 patients (51.4%) who had bone pain. Peripheral blood leukocyte count increased significantly in 27 patients (77.1%). The neutrophil count increased in 28 patients (80%). C-reactive protein (CRP) and immunoglobulin G levels increased in 93.3% (14/15) and 82.1% (23/28) patients, respectively. The imaging examination showed osteolytic lesions, which were multiple in several bony areas.

conclusionYoung and middle-aged patients with non-AIDS TM complicated with underlying diseases should be especially cautious in case of occurrence of bone destruction. The main clinical manifestations of patients with TM complicated with bone destruction were pulmonary symptoms and bone and joint pain, which could be accompanied by progressive consumptive diseases.
