Bartonella henselae infection associated with a multisystemic thrombo-inflammatory syndrome in an immunocompetent adult.
Article in Infection, 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
backgroundBartonella henselae infection is traditionally associated with self-limited cat-scratch disease but may occasionally present with severe systemic manifestations. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 43 year-old immunocompetent man who developed a multisystem thrombo-inflammatory syndrome with thrombocytopenia, renal involvement, thrombotic events, ocular ischemia, and transient lupus anticoagulant positivity, initially suggestive of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. Extensive investigations were unrevealing until whole blood PCR detected B. henselae. Retrospective histopathology revealed small-vessel endothelial injury compatible with microangiopathy. Doxycycline therapy was followed by clinical improvement, normalization of platelet counts, and resolution of thrombotic manifestations
conclusionThis case highlights the diagnostic complexity of systemic Bartonella infection and the need to consider infectious triggers in unexplained thrombo-inflammatory presentations, even in immunocompetent individuals.
