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

Infection by Penicillium marneffei is an important emerging public health problem, especially among travelers and inhabitants in SE China and SE Asia infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In recent years, the number of patients with penicilliosis marneffei (PM) has increased rapidly in Guangdong province, SE China. However, the natural habitat and transmission mode of the etiologic agent remains unclear. In this study, wild rats (Microtus, focus Rattus and Rhizomys pruinosus) and soil samples were collected from rat burrows, populated and rural areas from November 2007 to December 2008 for fungus cultures. All isolates, suspected of being P. marneffei, were identified by gross and microscopic morphology and ITS analysis. Sixteen of 23 (about 70%) bamboo rats were P. marneffei positive, whereas none was recovered from hamsters, loirs or soil. This suggests that as of today the bamboo rat is the exclusive natural reservoir for P. marneffei. Definite evidence that rodents are a part of the infectious cycle is still lacking.
