A comparative study of thin-section CT findings between seasonal influenza virus pneumonia and Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo compare the pulmonary thin-section CT findings in patients with seasonal influenza virus pneumonia with Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia.
methodsThe study group included 30 patients (20 males and 10 females; age range, 20-91 years; mean age, 55.9 years) with seasonal influenza virus pneumonia and 71 patients (47 males and 24 females; age range, 27-92 years; mean age, 67.5 years) with S. pneumoniae pneumonia.
resultsThe proportion of community-acquired infection was significantly higher in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than with S. pneumoniae pneumonia (p = 0.001). CT findings of ground-glass attenuation (GGA) (p = 0.012) and crazy-paving appearance (p = 0.03) were significantly more frequent in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than with S. pneumoniae pneumonia. Conversely, consolidation (p < 0.001), mucoid impaction (p < 0.001), centrilobular nodules (p = 0.04) and pleural effusion (p = 0.003) were significantly more frequent in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia than in those with influenza virus pneumonia.
conclusionPulmonary thin-section CT findings, such as consolidation and mucoid impaction may be useful in distinguishing between seasonal influenza virus pneumonia and S. pneumoniae pneumonia. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: (1) Distinguishing seasonal influenza virus pneumonia with S. pneumoniae pneumonia is important. (2) The CT findings of GGA and crazy-paving appearance were more frequently found in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia, whereas consolidation, mucoid impaction, centrilobular nodules and pleural effusion were more frequently found in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia.
