Human Borrelia miyamotoi infection: A cause of persistent fever and severe hyperthermia in New England.
Article in IDCases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An adult male presented to a hospital in southwestern Connecticut with tachypnea, generalized weakness, altered mental status, and relapsing fever with maximum recorded temperature of 106 °F. He required active cooling, antipyretic therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics, and intubation for airway protection after an episode of emesis. Initial laboratory and imaging workup were remarkable for elevated inflammatory markers, acute kidney injury, and bilateral lower lobe infiltrates. Further workup with lumbar puncture and electroencephalography were unrevealing. Extensive testing for causes of relapsing fever including tickborne diseases revealed that the patient was seropositive for Borrelia miyamotoi. Notably, he had no rash, and workup found no evidence of coinfection by other Borrelia, Ehrlichia or Anaplasma species. This case illustrates the need for clinicians to test for tick-borne diseases when evaluating for cases of relapsing fever in New England and is among the first case reports to demonstrate Borrelia miyamotoi as a cause of severe pyrexia.
