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

Foodborne infections are a common cause of gastroenteritis, but cases involving multiple enteric pathogens from a single exposure are rarely reported. We present the case of a healthy 23-year-old male with no significant chronic medical history who developed febrile gastroenteritis after returning from a four-day solo trip to Peru. His symptoms began one day after returning and included fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, frontal headaches, and severe neck pain. His history was notable for a herniated disc from a motor vehicle collision (MVC) four months prior, for which he was undergoing physical therapy, raising initial concerns for a non-infectious cause of his neck pain. Initial workup revealed leukocytosis, tachycardia, acute kidney injury (AKI), and imaging concerning for a possible small bowel obstruction. Stool polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected multiple enteric pathogens, including
