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

Acute Coxiella burnetti (Q fever) infection is known to activate the autoimmune inflammatory response. We report a rare case of glomerulonephritis associated with the Coxiella infection. An elderly male first presented with recurrent fevers of unknown origin and was subsequently diagnosed with Q fever infection and treated with doxycycline. He represented 2 months later with an acute kidney injury and active urinary sediment. Renal biopsy demonstrated a mesangiopathic pattern with staining for both C1q and IgM, raising possibilities of infection-related glomerulonephritis, C1q nephropathy and lupus nephritis. This case demonstrates glomerulonephritis as a complication of Q fever infection and the differential diagnosis and workup up that needs to be considered in cases of chronic Q fever.
