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

backgroundSince May 2022, outbreaks of monkeypox have occurred in many countries around the world, and several cases have been reported in China. CASE SUMMARY: A 38-year-old man presented with a small, painless, shallow ulcer on the coronary groove for 8 d. One day after the rash appeared, the patient developed inguinal lymphadenopathy with fever. The patient had a history of male-male sexual activity and denied a recent history of travel abroad. Monkeypox virus was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction from the rash site and throat swab. Based on the epidemiological history, clinical manifestations and nucleic acid test results, the patient was diagnosed with monkeypox.

conclusionMonkeypox is an emerging infectious disease in China. Monkeypox presenting as a chancre-like rash is easily misdiagnosed. Diagnosis can be made based on exposure history, clinical manifestations and nucleic acid test results.
