Evaluating the Diagnostic Value of Absolute Eosinopenia in Culture-Positive Enteric Fever: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Enteric fever continues to pose a diagnostic challenge in endemic regions due to the limited availability and delayed results of blood cultures and the poor specificity of serological tests. Absolute eosinophil count (AEC = 0 cells/mm³), a simple and low-cost hematological marker, may offer early diagnostic utility, especially in resource-constrained settings. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of absolute eosinopenia in detecting culture-confirmed enteric fever and compare it with commonly used serological tests such as Widal and Typhidot. Methods This retrospective case-control study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital in eastern India between August 2023 and June 2024. Culture-positive patients with
