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

A syndrome of exaggerated lymphocytic proliferation and activation, called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) can occur primarily due to genetic mutation, in children and secondary to infection, malignancy or autoimmunity in adults. It is characterized by a misdirected activation of immune system, which causes cytokine release from macrophages and cytotoxic cells, in an uncontrolled fashion. Most treatment protocols are formulated for primary hemophagocytic histiocytosis, which occurs in children, whereas awareness and therapeutic guidelines for the secondary form of the disease which affects predominantly the adults is limited. We present a 29 year old renal transplant recipient presenting with fever of unknown origin found to have HLH secondary to tuberculosis, who responded to anti-tuberculous treatment.
