Defining, treating and preventing hospital acquired pneumonia: European perspective.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 77 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
introductionMany controversies still remain in the management of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP), and ventilation-acquired pneumonia (VAP), Three European Societies, European Respiratory Society (ERS), European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM), were interested in producing a document on HAP and VAP with European perspective. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe scientific committees from each Society designated one chairman; Antoni Torres (ERS), Harmut Lode (ESCMID) and Jean Carlet (ESICM). The chairmen of this Task Force suggested names from each Society to be a member of the panel. They also choose controversial topics on the field and others that were not covered by the last IDSA/ATS guidelines. Each topic was assigned to a pair of members to be reviewed and written. Finally, the panel defined 20 consensual points that were circulated several times among the members of the panel until total agreement was reached. A combination of evidences and clinical-based medicine was used to reach these consensus.
conclusionThis manuscript reviews in depth several controversial or new topics in HAP and VAP. In addition 20 consensual points are presented. This manuscript may be useful for the development of future guidelines and to stimulate clinical research by lying out what is currently accepted and what is unknown or controversial.
