Unmasking the Enigma of Weil's Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
We present the case of a 37-year-old male with Weil's disease, a severe form of leptospirosis, who presented without typical ecological risk factors. Initially manifesting as weakness, muscle aches, and fever, the patient rapidly deteriorated, necessitating ICU admission due to septic shock and respiratory failure. Despite initial diagnostic challenges, including normal initial imaging and inconclusive laboratory findings, a presumptive diagnosis of leptospirosis was made using Modified Faine's criteria. Empirical antibiotic treatment with doxycycline led to significant clinical improvement, highlighting the importance of early recognition and treatment in severe cases of leptospirosis. This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion and the use of diagnostic scoring systems, even in atypical presentations, to facilitate timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.
