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

Human retro-viral disease and the myriad opportunistic infections associated with it continue to pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Disseminated Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and KS-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) are entities that can be associated with adverse clinical outcomes unless recognized early by the treating physician. We present the case of a 36-year-old homosexual HIV-positive male who presented with unusual symptoms of KS and KS IRIS with lower gastrointestinal bleeding and respiratory distress devoid of any cutaneous manifestations.
