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

Introduction: Fever of unknown origin is one of the challenging medical conditions with a wide differential diagnosis. Case presentation: We present a case of 16-year-old patient with Ewing sarcoma diagnosed with neoplastic fever. Discussion: Neoplastic fever, which is caused by the tumor itself, is diagnosed when all other causes of fever have been ruled out. It occurs more frequently in hepatic, renal, and hematological cancers. After history and physical examination, a thorough individualized diagnostic approach is required. Removing the underlying cause of fever when feasible and symptomatic relief with NSAIDS are the primary therapeutic approaches. Conclusion: Fever is common in patients with cancer and it can be due to infectious and non-infectious causes. After excluding all potential causes, neoplastic fever is diagnosed.
