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

Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, poses unique challenges in pregnancy due to its varied clinical presentation and potential adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus. We present a case of a 24-year-old primigravida at 35 weeks of gestation who presented with fever, dyspnea, and abdominal pain, and was ultimately diagnosed with leptospirosis complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prompt initiation of antibiotic therapy, supportive care, and timely delivery via emergency cesarean section led to favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes. This case report underscores the importance of considering leptospirosis in pregnant patients presenting with similar symptoms, particularly in endemic regions, and highlights the critical role of multidisciplinary management in optimizing outcomes.
