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

A 56-year-old man with alcohol-associated cirrhosis, arterial hypertension and diabetes, presented with a 1-month history of fever, lumbar back pain and lower limb weakness. MRI revealed a spinal epidural abscess extending from the cervical to the dorsolumbar spine. A methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strain was isolated on blood cultures. Meropenem was initially started with no response, and then changed to vancomycin. During treatment, the patient's condition progressed with anasarca and renal failure with nephrotic-range proteinuria. The renal biopsy showed a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with IgA deposition. After completing 2 months of antibiotic therapy the patient recovered from the neurological deficits, with a complete resolution of the abscess and partial recovery of renal function and proteinuria.
