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

Neisseria gonorrhoea continues to be implicated in a large proportion of sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Prompt recognition of infection is required to prevent further complications which include pelvic inflammatory disease and less commonly, perihepatitis which is known eponymously as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Third generation cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone remain effective in the treatment of gonococcal infection, however failure in initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy in a timely manner can result in further disseminated disease. We describe an atypical case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome presenting with multiple intra-abdominal gonococcal collections. Our case highlights the importance of a detailed sexual history in the evaluation of acute abdominal pain in at-risk patient demographics.
