Legionellosis in Transplantation.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Legionella species are emerging opportunistic pathogens in hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical and radiological features of Legionella infections can mimic other opportunistic pathogens in these profoundly immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis in transplant patients is challenging as non-pneumophila Legionella infections, for which these patients are at risk, cannot be identified using the urinary antigen test. Changes in management of transplant recipients and changes in Legionella epidemiology suggest that the number of transplant patients potentially exposed to Legionella spp. may be on the rise. Yet, evidence-based, transplant-specific guidelines for managing and preventing Legionella infections are not currently available. In this article, we review the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic challenges, treatment options, and preventive strategies of Legionella infections in these high-risk patient populations.
