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

backgroundThis study aims to analyze the

resultsThe metabolic characteristics of the "hottest" lesion, the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes varied for various causes. PET/CT combined with clinical parameters achieved better discrimination in the differential diagnosis of FUO. The etiological diagnostic models included the following factors: multisite metabolic characteristics, blood cell counts, inflammatory indicators (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, serum ferritin, and lactate dehydrogenase), immunological indicators (interferon gamma release assay, antinuclear antibody, and anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody), specific signs (weight loss, rash, and splenomegaly), and age. In the testing cohort, the AUCs of the infection prediction model, the malignancy diagnostic model, and the noninfectious inflammatory disease prediction model were 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.92), 0.94 (95% CI 0.92-0.97), and 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97), respectively. The corresponding AUCs for the validation cohort were 0.88 (95% CI 0.82-0.93), 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.98), and 0.95 (95% CI 0.92-0.99), respectively.
