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

backgroundTalaromyces marneffei (TM) is a thermally dimorphic fungus endemic to Southeast Asia and a major opportunistic pathogen in HIV-1/AIDS patients. We report a rare case of disseminated TM infection presenting with yeast-like fungal structures on peripheral blood smear and complicated by acute pancreatitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old man with AIDS (CD4

conclusionsTM should be considered in HIV patients with unexplained pancreatitis, especially in endemic areas. Peripheral blood smear may serve as a rapid diagnostic clue in disseminated infection,indicating potential organ involvement that may affect uncommon sites.
