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: Amazonian toxoplasmosis is classically associated with severe disease in hospitalized adults. However, little is known about milder outpatient forms in French Guiana. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 174 immunocompetent adults diagnosed with acute toxoplasmosis in French Guiana (2002-2019), comparing clinical and laboratory features between hospitalized (HPs) and outpatient (OPs) cases. Results: Seventy-four patients (43%) were OPs. Fever (93%), lymphadenopathy (62%), and digestive symptoms (56%) predominated among OPs, while respiratory symptoms, anemia, and hyponatremia predicted hospitalization (aOR 9.8, 3.9, and 5.4, respectively). Parasitaemia was detected in 27% of OPs but genotyping succeeded only in HPs, all infected by Conclusions: Mild parasitaemic forms of toxoplasmosis occur in immunocompetent adults in French Guiana. The clinical spectrum of toxoplasmosis in French Guiana appears broader than previously described, extending beyond the severe forms typically associated with strains of the Amazonian population.
