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 25-year-old man presented with a fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed diffuse perihepatic capsular enhancement, suggesting perihepatitis. Although the patient was a man, Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome was suspected based on the CT findings. Treatment with several antibiotics was ineffective. Urinary tract infection was ruled out due to negative urinary bacterial screening and careful history taking. He was finally diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematous (malar rash, pleuritis, positive antinuclear antibody, and positive anti-ds-DNA antibody). Perihepatitis resolved quickly with high-dose prednisolone. Perihepatitis may be the first manifestation of SLE.
