Comparison of Blood Parameters in Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever and Upper Respiratory Infection Patients with Similar Complaints.
Article in Iranian journal of public health, 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
Background: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) often presents with non-specific flu-like symptoms that resemble upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), especially in endemic areas. We aimed to evaluate whether complete blood count (CBC) parameters could distinguish between CCHF and URTI in emergency settings. Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis of 503 patients: 203 confirmed CCHF cases and 300 URTI cases. The study was carried out at Erzurum City Hospital, Erzurum, Turkey, between 2023 and 2024. Hematological parameters including WBC, PLT, RDW, MPV, and others were analyzed. ROC analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic value in CCHF patients. Results: Significant differences in multiple CBC parameters were observed between the two groups. CCHF patients had significantly lower WBC, PLT, and lymphocyte counts, and higher MPV and RDW values compared to URTI patients ( Conclusion: CBC parameters can assist in distinguishing CCHF from URTI in endemic areas, especially when RT-PCR is unavailable. Emergency physicians should consider CCHF in differential diagnosis when specific hematological abnormalities are present.
