Article in Journal of tropical medicine, 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
Background: Scrub typhus is an acute zoonotic disease caused by Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed 19 pregnant patients with scrub typhus admitted to the People's Hospital of Ximeng Wa Autonomous County, Southwest China, from August 2023 to November 2025. Epidemiological, clinical, test, treatment, and outcome data were collected and descriptively analyzed. Results: All patients were farmers, with 73.68% reporting a history of outdoor activities. Common symptoms included fever (100%), myalgia (78.94%), headache (57.89%), and eschar (94.74%). Laboratory findings revealed elevated transaminases (ALT or AST 94.74%) and decreased eosinophil percentages (89.47%). Initial misdiagnosis occurred in 10.53% (upper respiratory infection). Among the 18 patients treated with azithromycin, fever resolution occurred within 1 to 5 days. No maternal deaths occurred. However, adverse fetal outcomes included spontaneous miscarriage ( Conclusions: Scrub typhus in pregnancy poses serious maternal-fetal risks. Early clinical recognition and prompt azithromycin therapy are crucial for improving maternal and perinatal outcomes, especially in resource-limited settings.
