Monkeypox presenting as supraglottitis in an immunocompromised patient.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We describe a young man with AIDS who presented to the ear, nose and throat team with a severe sore throat mimicking supraglottitis. He had a 3-day history of sore throat, hoarse voice, fevers and myalgia. On examination, he had cervical lymphadenopathy and profuse pus overlying his right tonsil. On flexible nasoendoscopy, this pus was seen to track down to the supraglottis, with associated mucosal ulceration. The patient was treated for supraglottitis and he improved. 24 hours postadmission, a pustule suspicious for monkeypox developed on the patient's hand. The diagnosis was confirmed by PCR testing. The patient was isolated and treated supportively and recovered fully. This case highlights that monkeypox may present with a severe sore throat without cutaneous lesions. Monkeypox is a growing public health concern . Its early symptoms are non-specific and healthcare professionals should be alert to it.
