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
backgroundLeptospirosis is a reemerging waterborne zoonotic infection with a significant global health importance. The manifestations are ranged from mild febrile illness to severe conditions, including Weil's disease and rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a case of a 27-year-old Iranian male patient with a history of mountain climbing who developed severe leptospirosis. The patient presented massive rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and respiratory distress, initially suspected to be related to his physical activity. The leptospirosis infection was confirmed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Despite hydration and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, the patient's condition demanded intensive care and hemodialysis. Finally, the patient recovered completely, underscoring the critical need for timely diagnosis and intervention in leptospirosis cases. To date, there have been no reports of leptospirosis-associated rhabdomyolysis in Iran. Additionally, cases of rhabdomyolysis caused by leptospirosis are rare worldwide.
conclusionThis is report reveals the reemergence of leptospirosis, particularly in environments conducive to the survival of Leptospira bacteria, and the significance of awareness and preventive measures, especially for susceptible populations.
