Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis due to Brucellosis in a Xeroderma Pigmentosum Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Case reports in hematology, 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
We report a pediatric patient with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) who developed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to Brucella infection-an exceedingly rare occurrence. XP is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by extreme ultraviolet radiation (UVR) sensitivity due to the inability to repair DNA pyrimidine dimers caused by UV exposure. This defect leads to a markedly increased risk of skin cancer and progressive neurological degeneration (Leung, 2022). HLH is a rare, potentially fatal hypersensitivity syndrome characterized by excessive activation and impaired downregulation of T-lymphocytes and macrophages. This dysregulation results in an overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, destruction of blood cells, and subsequent tissue and organ damage (Fisman, 2000). While secondary HLH may follow various infections, Brucella-induced HLH is rare (Wolska, 2006), and to our knowledge, this is the first reported case in a patient with XP.
