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

backgroundBrucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infectious diseases in the world, with approximately 500000 new cases of human brucellosis diagnosed each year. Brucellosis can simulate various multi-system diseases, presenting atypical symptoms. Very few brucellosis cases with pancytopenia accompanied by a severe hearing loss have been reported. In the literature review, we could find only one similar case reported in the past. Moreover, this disease is easily misdiagnosed as a blood system disease leading to delayed treatment. Thus, it is important to improve clinicians' awareness of this disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old woman presented with dizziness and fatigue, accompanied by pancytopenia and severe hearing loss.

conclusionBrucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with pancytopenia and hearing loss.
