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 a lethal case of Bourbon virus infection in a 63-year-old Caucasian, diabetic male who was previously in good health. The patient had spent time in the wooded areas of Bourbon County, Kansas, and removed three ticks from his body 5 days prior to presentation. The patient had acute multisystem organ failure requiring multiple inotropes and pressor agents, renal replacement therapy, and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). This report describes the presentation, clinical outcomes, and background on Bourbon virus infection.
