Case Report: Burkholderia pseudomallei Infection with Sepsis and Aortic Pseudoaneurysm.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacterium found predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions. A 49-year-old individual with type 2 diabetes in Hainan, China, with a 4-month history of intermittent fever and 20 days of chest-back pain was diagnosed with aortic pseudoaneurysm through a computerized tomography scan. Burkholderia pseudomallei was identified through bacteriological examination of the patient's blood. The patient received supportive care, with management of hyperthermia, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. Intravenous meropenem and oral sulfamethoxazole were administered for anti-infection treatment. Within 10 days, the patient's temperature normalized, vital signs stabilized, chest pain subsided, and blood cultures cleared. This case highlights the potential severity of B. pseudomallei infections, underscoring the critical role of appropriate antibiotics, supportive care, and long-term follow-up in ensuring comprehensive management and preventing further transmission.
