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

This report details the first rapid diagnosis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) at our institution using peripheral blood morphology and highlights its key hematological features for early detection. A 59-year-old male farmer was admitted with chills, fever, and diarrhea lasting 8 days. Diagnosis was confirmed using blood tests and next-generation sequencing. Within 24 h, lab tests revealed key diagnostic clues, including abnormal blood counts and distinctive cell morphology. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient's condition worsened, leading to clinical death. In summary, SFTS is a deadly infection with high mortality. In endemic areas, quick screening of suspected cases using peripheral blood morphology by knowledgeable lab staff can lead to early diagnosis and timely treatment, essential for better clinical outcomes.
