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

Paecilomyces variotii has previously been reported as a causative pathogen for peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and shown to be usually sensitive to amphotericin B and resistant to voriconazole. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of P. variotii peritonitis in a liver transplant patient, which was unresponsive to initial liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) treatment and resolved dramatically after the addition of voriconazole. The present case provides evidence for the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of voriconazole combined with L-AmB in treating P. variotii peritonitis refractory to initial L-AmB treatment.
