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

Yersinia pestis is one of the most dangerous pathogens in the world. While plague foci exist in Africa, no recent cases have been reported in Nigeria. We describe a fatal case of Y. pestis infection in a known HIV-positive patient who presented to a tertiary health facility in Nigeria. This case underscores the need for high clinical suspicion, even in regions considered non-endemic, and highlights the potential severity of co-infection in immunocompromised individuals.
