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

introduction and importanceInfection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets immune cells and exposes infected patients to several diseases. For these reasons, HIV infection should be suspected in each situation where post-operative sepsis occurs, to afford therapy and improve the patient's prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a pregnant woman at 39 weeks of gestation who missed her prenatal follow-up. She underwent an emergency caesarian section for severe abnormality in the fetal heart rate. The caesarian section was complicated by a post-partum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH was managed with uterine artery ligation and B-Lynch modified sutures. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Postoperatively, there was the succession of the following events: purulent uterine necrosis, peritonitis, and encephalitis leading to a life-saving hysterectomy. Due to the worsening of the septic condition, HIV screening was performed, after obtaining the patient's consent, and came back positive.

conclusionThe aim of this case report is to push practicians to think about HIV infection when necessary because missing the diagnosis can seriously threaten patients' health.
