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

Background: Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Case presentation: A 12-year-old Chinese boy presented with intermittent fever and hematuria for 2 months. He was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot at birth and underwent multiple cardiac surgeries between 1 and 4 years of age. The examinations showed positive serum mycoplasma antibody and increased serum Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA. However, antibiotic and antiviral treatment was not effective. PR3-ANCA antibody was positive (109.8-158.8CU), while anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibody, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) were negative. Chest CT showed bronchitis. Ophthalmic examination and ENT examinations revealed no abnormalities. Conclusions: Q fever endocarditis should be considered for children presenting with chronic fever, hematuria and positive ANCAs, especially those with a history of congenital heart disease or cardiac operation. It is very helpful for the diagnosis to undergo these examinations, including mNGS, cardiac ultrasound and renal biopsy.
