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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAlthough a "forgotten" disease in developed countries, typhoid fever remains a significant global health problem, especially in regions with inadequate sanitation and overcrowding. Despite medical advances, this systemic bacterial infection, caused by

methodsWe present a series of cases encountered in a tertiary infectious disease hospital in Romania over 15 years.

resultsThe hospitalised patients were mainly from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent; the median time between the onset of the first symptoms and hospital admission was 15 days. The symptoms encountered along with fever were headache, chills, cough, diarrhoea and tachycardia, an unusual feature in the clinical picture of this disease. Aneosinophilia (the absence of peripheral eosinophilic granulocytes) was the most frequently encountered laboratory finding, followed by increased serum transaminases and inflammatory syndrome.
