Rare Presentation of Fever of Unknown Origin: A Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 present the case of a 49-year-old postmenopausal female patient with recurrent urinary tract infections, chronic pelvic pain, and persistent systemic symptoms, including fever, hypotension, and leukocytosis, admitted five times over a three-month period. Despite extensive antimicrobial treatment, imaging revealed retroperitoneal and gastrohepatic lymphadenopathy with pancreatic fat stranding, raising suspicion for malignancy or disseminated fungal infection. The patient's complex presentation, occupational exposure, past gynecologic procedures, and linguistic barriers compounded the diagnostic challenge. This case met the classic criteria for fever of unknown origin (FUO) and emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to rare pelvic infection presentations in postmenopausal women.
