Shigella flexneri 1c bacteremia in a child: a case report.
Article in Gut pathogens, 2026. 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
backgroundShigellosis is a significant public health issue in developing countries, particularly affecting young children under the age of five. While it primarily causes gastrointestinal infections, there are rare complications, such as bacteremia, that mainly occur in young children. We present a case of dysentery caused by Shigella flexneri serotype 1c, followed by bacteremia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-month-old Afghan child presented with fever, dysentery, distended abdomen, mild tenderness, and dehydration. He did not respond to empirical treatment with ceftriaxone. However, he was successfully treated with a combination of gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. This is the first report of a patient in Iran who was positive for S. flexneri serotype 1c and harbored the ipaB, ipaC, ipaD, ipaH, ipgD, virA, and sen virulence factors.
conclusionsThis case alerts clinicians to consider the possibility of Shigella bacteremia in young children. Early and accurate diagnosis can improve management and prognosis to reduce the risk of fatality outcomes. Additionally, it emphasizes the need to characterize the role of Shigella spp. virulence genes in causing bacteremia.
