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

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease. It is also one of the neglected infectious diseases and is less well-known compared to other diseases. It is acquired from infected animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, pigs, or other animals) through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or contact with tissues or fluids. Sensory neural hearing loss (SNHL) in neurobrucellosis had been described in the literature, mostly as an incidental finding that otolaryngologists should consider in any patient with fever and a history of travel to the Middle East, Central or South America, or other brucellosis-endemic countries. We present a neurobrucellosis case with profound bilateral SNHL that was treated with combination antibiotic therapy for long periods of time and highlight the clinical course of the patient.
