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

A 63-year-old patient with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B virus was found to have disseminated histoplasmosis with gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient was initially treated for sepsis, but the infectious workup was negative. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis showed diffuse mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, with plan for biopsy. Unfortunately, the patient had a Code Blue after having profuse hematochezia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy disclosed actively bleeding duodenal ulcer; computed tomography angiography showed gastric and jejunal extravasation. The patient expired, and autopsy revealed histoplasmosis of duodenum and jejunum. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is particularly helpful for timely diagnosis in immunocompromised patients with gastrointestinal bleed from suspected infections or malignancy.
