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 (HLH) is a rare, and potentially fatal, syndrome, characterized by immune system dysregulation, with excessive activation of the macrophages and cytotoxic T cells. It can be classified into primary (genetic) and secondary (acquired) forms. HLH presents with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, and hyperferritinemia, with involvement of various organs. The initial symptoms of HLH are non-specific, but as, if untreated, it can progress rapidly to multiorgan failure, timely diagnosis is essential. We present here two cases of HLH in infants that illustrate the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, along with a short review of HLH.
