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: the recent mpox outbreak was considered an international public health emergency. Objective: describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of mpox in a hospital in the province of Buenos Aires. Methods: case series study in patients ≥15 years of age in the Dermatology service of the Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos "San Martín" in La Plata between August and November 2022. Results: 10 patients were included. The mean age of presentation was 35 years. Seven of the patients were men and the remaining three were women. Most of them presented risky sexual intercourse as an epidemiological history. Pseudopustules were observed in 70% of the patients and all had genital, gluteal or perianal lesions. The complications observed were: local edema, proctitis, conjunctivitis and pharyngitis. Conclusion: we present 3 female patients out of a total of 24 women reported in the country, which represent only 2% of mpox infections in Argentina. In most cases we observe pseudopustules, an elementary lesion recently described for this entity. One patient presented ocular involvement, a complication reported in 1% of cases in the current outbreak.
