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

Background: Tularemia is a zoonotic disease of the Northern Hemisphere caused by Method: Retrospective single chart review. Results: We describe a 65-year-old man with tularemia working as a bear-hunting guide whose management was delayed despite a fairly typical presentation due to lack of awareness regarding this disease. This case also demonstrates the need for safer referral practices and improved communications with the laboratory to ensure personnel are taking the appropriate measures while handling patient samples to avoid potentially serious consequences. Conclusion: The diagnosis was confirmed from a neck mass biopsy and the patient made a complete recovery with appropriate antibiotic treatment.
