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

North-eastern Poland is an endemic region for tick-borne diseases, especially Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. However, less common diseases such as rickettsiosis and tularemia may occur after a tick bite. In this paper we present a rare case of Rickettsia spp. and Francisella tularensis co-infection in a 46-year-old female patient with no history of travel and no chronic diseases, confirmed by serological and molecular tests. The symptoms appeared 5-7 days after the tick bite and lasted for 2 weeks. On physical examination, a maculopapular rash over the entire body, an ulcer on the left lower extremity, and an enlarged inguinal lymph node were noted. We concluded that rare diseases such as rickettsiosis and tularemia should be included in differential diagnosis of fever, lymphadenopathy and skin changes after a tick bite. Co-infection with Rickettsia spp. and F. tularensis is possible in patients after a tick bite. Quick diagnosis allows proper treatment (with doxycycline) and complete recovery.
