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
We report the first case of human rabies in a child from Amazonas after 10 years without an outbreak. An 8-year-old girl was admitted to the local hospital because of headache, myalgia, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting during the previous 4 days. Meningoencephalitis was suspected, and empiric therapy with ceftriaxone and vancomycin was started. However, in the following 3 days, she also presented progressive lower extremities weakness, behavioral changes, photophobia, irritability, sialorrhea, and hallucinations. Thus, she was transferred to our hospital. Phenytoin, dexamethasone, mannitol, and acyclovir were started, and ceftriaxone was continued. Five days later, the mother recalled that the patient was bitten by a feral cat. Thus, human rabies immunoglobulin serum was administered immediately. However, 2 days later, the patient died. Post-mortem brain direct immunofluorescence study confirmed human rabies. Awareness campaigns can be lifesaving since more than 99% of deaths can be prevented if timely treatment is provided.
