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

Pneumocystis jirovecii is one of the common opportunistic infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Thailand. Information regarding genotypic and epidemiological of this organism in Thai patients is not available. We analyzed the genotypes of 28 P. jirovecii-positive specimens from bronchoalveolar lavage and sputum samples from HIV-infected Thai patients based on nucleotide variations of the internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 of the rRNA gene. Thirteen genotypes were the same as previously reported outside Thailand. Ten genotypes, which included Bp, Er, Eq, Ic, Ir, Ip, Rc, Rp, Qb, and Qq, were new. Ir and Rp were unique and dominant types observed in HIV-infected Thai patients. Thirteen specimens (46.4%) were infected with a single type of P. jirovecii, and fifteen (53.6%) were mixed infections. These differences may be used as genotypic markers for studying the epidemiology and transmission of P. jirovecii in the Thai population.
