Diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Catheter-related bloodstream infection is a potentially serious condition with a mortality rate of 12% to 25%. Catheter-related bacteremia is difficult to diagnose, and clinical manifestations of the condition have proved to be unspecific and often inconclusive. Microbiologic techniques to diagnose catheter-related bloodstream infection have been developed, some of which require catheter removal whereas others do not. Differential time to positivity has demonstrated marked accuracy and practicality as it allows the catheter to remain in place. Many other methods, such as skin or hub cultures, show less remarkable results, and some, such as intraluminal brushing, may produce adverse effects. Once a catheter-related bloodstream infection is diagnosed, it is classified as either complicated or uncomplicated and treated accordingly.
