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

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an emerging opportunistic bacterial pathogen with resistance to several commonly used antibiotics. Owing to its multidrug resistance (MDR), management of S. maltophilia blood stream infection (BSI) is challenging and requires the selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy. The presence of thrombocytopenia and shock are independent risk factors associated with increased mortality in patients with S. maltophilia BSI. We describe an unusual case of S. maltophilia BSI in a middle-age female complicated by dengue fever. We highlight the importance of early recognition of both dengue and S. maltophilia infection in management of such cases.
