An Atypical Presentation of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Presenting as Progressive Vision Loss: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This case report describes a 49-year-old immunocompromised male with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who presented with progressive bilateral vision loss. He initially noticed blurriness and visual distortion in the right eye several months prior, which gradually progressed to involve the left eye with worsening peripheral vision and intermittent diplopia. Despite several evaluations and empiric treatment, his symptoms continued to worsen. Prior imaging and lumbar puncture (LP) were inconclusive. After extensive evaluation by ophthalmology, neurology, and infectious disease, the differential diagnosis was expanded to include infrequent causes, including infectious processes. A panel of diagnostic tests ultimately revealed Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). While it is typically a curable disease, RMSF can be a potentially lethal disease caused by the bacteria
