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

The duration of fever defervescence in enteric fever has been observed to be increasing in recent times. An evaluation of the factors influencing fever defervescence in 150 children aged 1 month-18 years with confirmed (blood culture yielding Salmonella typhi or S. paratyphi) enteric fever was undertaken, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ceftriaxone and azithromycin were determined. The median (q1, q3) time to fever defervescence was found to be 88 (58.75, 117.25) hours. Prior antibiotic therapy, splenomegaly and systemic complications were significantly associated with late defervescence of fever. All isolates were found to be sensitive to ceftriaxone and azithromycin, with MIC values well below the established susceptibility breakpoints.
