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

Measles is a highly contagious infection that leads to many serious complications. Despite the significant global effort to eradicate it, it still represents a major threat due to suboptimal vaccination coverage, especially after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that affected all routine childhood vaccinations. One of its fatal complications, which has been reported a few times in the literature, is hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). We discuss a case of a 14-month-old unvaccinated female patient who developed measles-induced HLH and was treated with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and steroids; unfortunately, she developed multiorgan failure and passed away before chemotherapy could be initiated.
