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

Listeriosis is a rare foodborne febrile illness that has a unique predilection for the pregnant population. Listeriosis during pregnancy can cross the placenta, resulting in vertical transmission to the fetus which frequently results in adverse pregnancy outcomes. This is a case series on three pregnant patients who were treated for listeriosis at Latifa Women and Children's Hospital. All three patients reported in this series had no medical comorbidities or pregnancy risk factors; they presented with fever and abdominal and/or back pain; and of significance, none of the patients reported a history of gastrointestinal tract symptoms. Two cases were in the second trimester and one in the third trimester. All cases resulted in fetal loss with 100% fetal mortality. There was no maternal mortality or long-term morbidity in any of the patients.
