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

A woman in her 30s presented to the emergency department with 4 days of fever, headache and back pain. The patient was admitted for pain control, inability to tolerate oral intake and intravenous antibiotics for presumed diagnosis of pyelonephritis. Following admission, CT of the abdomen/pelvis showed multiple prominent pelvic and inguinal lymph nodes, and the patient was noted to have anterior and posterior cervical and submandibular lymphadenopathy on examination. The differential diagnosis was broadened to infectious, haematological, malignant and autoimmune aetiologies of diffuse lymphadenopathy. Workup included serum studies, imaging, lumbar puncture and lymph node biopsy. Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) returned positive with titre 1:16 and confirmatory reactive
