Intrauterine fetal death due to Brucella melitensis infection: a case report and literature review.
Review in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species In pregnant women, this disease may lead to adverse obstetric outcomes, such as abortion, preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal death (IUFD), and congenital brucellosis. However, only a few studies have reported IUFD due to Brucella. In our case, one woman residing in Guangxi Province, China-a non-endemic region-developed symptoms 11 months after exposure. The disease manifested during her pregnancy-Brucella melitensis was identified via blood culture and confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Despite receiving antibiotic treatment for brucellosis, she subsequently experienced IUFD. Additionally, we reviewed cases of IUFD secondary to brucellosis in the literature published until December 2024. Only three cases from the literature were enrolled in this study, which demonstrates that Brucella-related IUFD can occur in non-endemic zones, underscoring the need for increased clinical awareness.
