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

We hereby report two instances of dimorphic fungus cultivation in BacT/ALERT-based bacteriologic media, with the first such characterization of Blastomyces dermatitidis. From a patient with disseminated coccidioidomycosis, routine blood cultures incubated on the MB/BacT 3D Microbial Detection System generated a positive signal following 75 h of incubation. B. dermatitidis was isolated from a patient hospitalized with a four-week course of respiratory illness. Organism detection from respiratory specimens via the MB/BacT 3D Mycobacteria Detection System occurred 5 days sooner than the routine fungus culture. Etiologic agents of endemic mycoses may be isolated in bacteriologic media employed by continuous monitoring instrumentation.
