Laboratory and clinical predictors of focal involvement and bacteremia in brucellosis.

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
Early diagnosis of organ involvement and bacteremia in brucellosis increases treatment success and may prevent poor clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of focal involvement and bacteremia in patients with brucellosis. A total of 139 brucellosis patients aged 16 years and older were included in the study. Patients with and without organ involvement and bacteremic and non-bacteremic patients were compared separately. Low back pain, lymphadenomegaly, absence of fever on admission, ESR, AST, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were predictors of focal involvement (OR: 2.604; 3.167; 7.224; 1.039; 1.032; 1.738, respectively). The AUC value of ESR was 0.669 (0.573-0.765, p = 0.002) with the cutoff point > 30 mm/h (sensitivity 89.74% and specificity 37.00%) in predicting focal involvement in patients with brucellosis. Myalgia and headache (OR: 2.970; 2692) were defined as clinical predictors of Brucella bacteremia. Focal involvement should be considered in patients with brucellosis in the absence of myalgia and fever, presence of low back pain, and sedimentation > 30 mm/h. Brucella bacteremia should be considered regardless of fever, especially in patients with myalgia and headache in endemic areas.
