[Clostridium difficile-associated infections. How dangerous are the new strains?].
Article in Der Internist, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, a global increase of Clostridium difficile-associated infections (CDI) and the emergence of new hypervirulent strains causing numerous outbreaks was noticed. The appearance of these strains was accompanied by increased morbidity and mortality, affecting patients previously unknown to be at risk for CDI. Meanwhile, these hypervirulent strains occur in Germany as well. So far, the changing epidemiology of CDI did neither change diagnosis nor therapy of CDI but necessitates a series of preventive measures like the surveillance of CDI and contact precautions while caring for affected patients. If there are complicated or severe cases of CDI, the hypervirulent strains should be suspected and stool culture for isolation of C. difficile should be aimed.
