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

Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a prolonged fever lasting several weeks without an identifiable cause despite extensive medical evaluation. Many a time, its cause remains largely unknown even after collecting a detailed medical history, conducting comprehensive physical assessments, and performing various standard laboratory tests and imaging procedures. This case series presents two cases of pyrexia of unknown origin. The first case includes a unique and uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In the second case, the patient's fever remained unexplained after various investigations and treatments. The two documented cases of PUO presented in this report aim to contribute to the understanding of its diverse etiology and diagnostic challenges. By highlighting unique presentations and diagnostic dilemmas, the cases aim to promote awareness and facilitate timely recognition and appropriate management of PUO.
