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

Rickettsiosis is a widespread infection throughout the world and in Africa, it covers a wide range of infectious diseases caused by Rickettsia species. Rickettsial infections, with the exception of Q fever, typically present with fever, rash, and vasculitis. The central nervous system (CNS) can be affected by all rickettsial diseases and is an important target for several of them. Clinical manifestations are suggestive of rickettsial infection, but serology and skin biopsy provide confirmation. Although the presence of abnormal neuroimaging is rare, its presence is associated with a worse clinical prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans mainly show signs of vasculitis, which may be reversible if appropriate treatment is initiated early in the course of the disease. We present here a case of infectious cerebral vasculitis due to rickettsiosis with some MRI features.
