A cluster of Listeria monocytogenes infections in hospitalized adults.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 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
backgroundListeriosis occurs mainly in persons at extremes of age and with immunocompromising conditions. It is believed that most cases of listeriosis are acquired in the community. A cluster of listeriosis in hospitalized patients prompted the present investigation.
methodsWe conducted a case series study of listeriosis from August 21, 2006, to June 1, 2007, in a hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
resultsSix patients with Listeria monocytogenes infection were identified: 5 during hospitalization and 1 at a day clinic. By the time the infection was diagnosed, 5 patients had been in the hospital for a mean of 9 days. All patients were elderly (median age, 80 years) and had immunocompromising conditions. Five (83%) patients died. Four patients developed bloodstream infections, 3 caused by serotype 1/2b. Two patients had peritonitis: one caused by serotype 3b and another by serotype 1/2b. Four L monocytogenes isolates belonged to a single pulse-field gel electrophoresis genotype, suggesting a common source. An epidemiologic investigation pointed to the hospital kitchen as the possible contamination.
conclusionData suggest a health care-associated outbreak of listeriosis and highlight the importance of developing guidelines for prevention and treatment of health care-associated foodborne diseases, especially in hospitals with immunocompromised adult patients.
