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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a severe hyperinflammatory syndrome that can be potentially life-threatening without appropriate treatment. Although viral infection is the most common trigger of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, cases of herpes simplex virus type 1-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are rare in adults. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes associated with HSV-1-induced HLH. We herein report an adult case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, diagnosed on the basis of peripheral blood metagenomic next-generation sequencing results. The patient exhibited a favorable response to treatment, involving dexamethasone, intravenous immunoglobulin, and acyclovir. Notably, etoposide administration was deemed unnecessary, and there has been no recurrence of the disease within the year following treatment. Early and sensitive recognition, rapid and precise diagnosis, and timely and appropriate treatment facilitated the successful treatment of this case.
