Fever of Unknown Origin Reveals a Missed Diagnosis of DiGeorge Syndrome in a 21-Year-Old Female.
Article in Cureus, 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
DiGeorge syndrome, caused by a microdeletion of the 22q11.2 region of chromosome 22, is a relatively rare condition. This syndrome can be difficult to recognize because a constellation of symptoms show different presentations. Most individuals diagnosed with this condition are identified in early childhood. With the emergence of new screening techniques, even fewer individuals with this syndrome are missed. Prior to these screening techniques, it was uncommon for patients to be diagnosed in adulthood. As a result, many internists, who focus only on the adult population, are unlikely to recognize and diagnose DiGeorge syndrome as the patient ages merely because it is not commonly diagnosed later in life. Early recognition and management are essential for the treatment of this condition. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome as an adult.
