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

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) and inflammation of unknown origin (IUO) remain complex diagnostic challenges due to their heterogeneous presentations and broad differential diagnoses. FUO was first described by Petersdorf and Beeson in 1961 and later redefined by Durack and Street, while IUO was introduced more recently by Vanderschueren et al. in 2009. Despite thorough investigations, a significant proportion of patients remain without a clear diagnosis, often resulting in prolonged hospital stays and increased healthcare costs. In recent years, [
