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

Weil's disease represents a rare, severe form of leptospirosis, characterized by high mortality risk. The clinical presentation ranges from a self-limited febrile illness to a more severe form of infection where patients may have multiorgan failure. Here we present a case of a young immigrant with abdominal pain, vomiting, and body aches, presenting with mixed hyperbilirubinemia, acute kidney injury (AKI), and moderate thrombocytopenia. Imaging revealed granulomatous pneumonic changes. Despite negative initial studies, the combination of the cholestatic pattern of liver injury, thrombocytopenia, pulmonary and renal involvement, along with recent travel and occupation history, raised concern for leptospirosis. A positive
