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

We present the case of a 65-year-old woman who came to our clinic with a pruriginous annular skin eruption suggestive of erythema migrans. She reported a previous mild respiratory syndrome. Given the suspicion, the patient was empirically given doxycycline 100 mg q12h for two weeks, which led to a resolution of the dermatosis. Initially, laboratory tests revealed positive IgM for Lyme disease, however these IgM persisted for several months of longitudinal follow-up and IgG was never positive. Seroconversion occurred, however, for
