Repeated Hemolytic Streptococcal Infections in Soft Tissue Eosinophilic Granulomatosis (Kimura's Disease): A Case Report.

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
Soft tissue eosinophilic granulomatosis (Kimura's disease) is an eosinophilic granuloma with a proliferation of lymphoid follicles in the subcutaneous soft tissue. Although no established treatment exists, it is considered a disease with a good prognosis. On the other hand, bacteremia caused by group G hemolytic streptococcus (GGS) is said to be caused by chronic local lymph abnormalities and is likely to recur. We present the case of a 41-year-old Japanese man. He had a history of treatment for Kimura's disease and sepsis due to hemolytic streptococcus and came to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever. His blood culture revealed hemolytic streptococcus, and he was admitted to the hospital. Kimura's disease involves the proliferation of lymphoid follicles, so when blood cultures repeatedly turn positive, it is important to treat the patient with a GGS infection in mind.
