Ralstonia pickettii bloodstream infections at a Brazilian cancer institution.
Article in Current microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
We describe a series of Ralstonia pickettii bloodstream infections (BSI) that occurred in 19 oncohematologic patients admitted to a hospital for patients with cancer, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from July 1999 to February 2006. Fifty-four R. pickettii isolates were recovered from blood and catheter-tip specimens (1-5 isolates per patient). Two patients eventually died of causes unrelated to R. pickettii BSI. Eight pulsed-field gel electrophoresis genotypes were resolved (A-H), with two detected in more than 1 patient: genotype B, in 2 patients (1.5%), and E, in 12 patients (63.2%). R. pickettii emerged as a new pathogen at our institution, causing at least one outbreak. Cross-transmission of the pathogen, infusion of a putative contaminated intravenous solution, and persistent colonization of medical devices were the likely sources of R. pickettii BSI.
