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

Objective: Fungal infections are uncommon but potentially life-threatening complications in adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). The immunological features of AOSD patients with fungal infections remain poorly defined, and this study aimed to characterize immune activation profiles in this population. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 277 patients diagnosed with AOSD, among whom 35 (12.6%) developed fungal infections. Clinical features and immunological parameters, including neutrophil CD64 (nCD64), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), activated T cells, and serum cytokine profiles, were compared between patients with and without fungal infections. Results: Compared to non-infected AOSD patients, those with fungal infections had a higher frequency of splenomegaly (60.0% vs. 33.5%, p = 0.0024), pulmonary infiltrates (57.1% vs. 20.2%, p < 0.001), and pericarditis (42.9% vs. 20.7%, p = 0.0038). Immunologically, the infection group showed significantly elevated levels of nCD64 (45.39 vs. 11.16, p < 0.05) and enhanced CD8 Conclusions: AOSD patients with fungal infections exhibit distinct immune activation patterns involving neutrophils and CD8
