An Unusual Presentation of Leptospirosis: A Case of Septic Shock and Proteinuria.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Leptospirosis is a global health concern, particularly in tropical regions, with clinical symptoms varying from mild fever to severe organ dysfunction. We present a case of a 57-year-old male with septic shock and acute kidney injury due to acute leptospirosis. The patient's rapid progression to shock within a day of generalized symptoms was unusual. The patient's infection ultimately resolved with ceftriaxone and he was discharged after 14 days of therapy. The pathogenesis of severe leptospirosis is believed to be due to vasculitis, with organ damage caused by the leptospira bacteria and immune-mediated mechanisms. Diagnostic investigations include blood cultures and polymerase chain reactions, which are beneficial for early diagnosis. The management of patients depends on the severity of symptoms and other health conditions, as well as antibiotics and hydration. However, leptospirosis can lead to a wide range of complications, including neurological, ocular, hematological, and gastrointestinal involvement, necessitating vigilant monitoring and management.
