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

The monkeypox (mpox) outbreak that began in May 2022 spread globally with a wide range of presentations. Mpox proctitis has been recognized as one of the severe forms of the virus during this outbreak. We present the case of a 33-year-old male with well-controlled HIV engaging in receptive anal intercourse presented with profuse rectal bleeding, tenesmus, and anal pain in July 2022. His symptoms persisted despite treatment for his rectal chlamydia with doxycycline. Rectal imaging with computed tomography demonstrated impressive inflammation. Contrast-enhanced images highlighted rectal wall thickening and submucosal edema. Diffuse lymphadenopathy of the anorectal region was also clearly seen. He received symptomatic treatment with tecovirimat resulting in the resolution of his symptoms and complaints. Subsequent rectal imaging displayed improvement and decreased inflammation. A better understanding of various presentations, imaging characteristics, and management is necessary to curb further dissemination.
