Efficacy and safety of sequential moxifloxacin for treatment of community-acquired pneumonia associated with atypical pathogens.
Synthesis in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In two prospective, randomized studies intravenous (IV)/oral (PO) moxifloxacin (400 mg q.i.d.) was compared to IV/PO antimicrobial comparator agents for the treatment of hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Reported here are the pooled data for the sub-population with atypical pathogens. Of 101 intent-to-treat patients with atypical pathogens, a total of 39 moxifloxacin-treated and 47 comparator-treated subjects were microbiologically valid and included in the analysis. Clinical and bacteriological success rates were 95% for the moxifloxacin-treated and 94% for the comparator-treated subjects at the test-of-cure visit. The results indicate IV/PO moxifloxacin (400 mg q.i.d.) is an effective monotherapy for patients with CAP due to atypical pathogens.
