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

A 35-year-old man who returned from Germany developed fever, generalized pain, severe anal pain, and generalized skin rash, confirmed to be monkeypox (mpox). While he was previously confirmed to be human immunodeficiency virus infected, antiretroviral therapy ensured his immunocompetence. The mpox-related prodromal symptoms disappeared before isolation, and subsequent several vesicular skin lesions healed after admission. While moderate anal pain persisted for a few days, it improved during hospitalization. The mpox virus was no longer detected in samples taken from the upper respiratory tract and skin by polymerase chain reaction upon admission. However, isolated perianal ulcers developed after admission without any other mpox-related symptoms or signs, and a viable mpox virus was isolated from these ulcers. Considering the novel feature of asynchronous mucocutaneous lesion development in the current mpox epidemic, meticulous physical examination of newly developing lesions, especially in anogenital areas, should be performed during mpox management.
