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

Leptospirosis is the most prevalent zoonotic illness that affects both humans and animals worldwide. It is typically underreported due to a lack of knowledge, unusual manifestations and a lack of diagnostic resources. Therefore, it is of interest to estimate the seroprevalence of Leptospirosis from an acute febrile illness patient at a tertiary care hospital in India. Hence, a total of 252 blood samples were collected out of which 39 (15.47%) were positive for leptospirosis IgM antibody. Male patient (56.75%) shows preponderance over females. Further patients among the age group groups 21-40 (56.41%) showed the positivity. A clinical presentation such as Fever (100%), Myalgia (51.5%) and Headache (36.98%) was the most common symptoms seen followed by vomiting and abdominal pain. Leptospirosis screening must therefore be introduced as differential diagnosis in individuals with acute fever in addition to other routine testing in order to lower the morbidity and mortality.
