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

We present a case of a 54-year-old male, with newly detected HIV with low CD4 counts, diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to disseminated histoplasmosis. The history of his high-risk sexual behavior, fever, and pancytopenia led to clinical suspicion of HIV which was confirmed on serology. Hemophagocytosis was detected on bone marrow aspiration cytology and histoplasmosis was diagnosed on ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology of cervical lymph nodes. Timely interference of antiretroviral therapy (ART), antifungals, and identification of HLH lead to recovery of the patient.
