Refractory to treat Helicobacter cinaedi bacteremia with bilateral lower extremities cellulitis in an immunocompetent patient.

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
Helicobacter cinaedi is known to cause bacteremia with multi-focal cellulitis, usually, among immunocompromised patients. We report here a 54-year-old Japanese man who was found to have bacteremia complicated with bilateral lower extremities cellulitis due to H. cinaedi. This patient did not have any immunocompromised conditions including Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection. In this patient, the cellulitis was multi-focal which is rare among immunocompetent patients. In addition, interestingly, the cellulitis was symmetrically on the both sides on the lower dorsal part of the extremities. The patient was treated with meropenem, which was considered as one of the best available agents, however, he required a prolonged antimicrobial treatment. During the admission, he underwent colonoscopy which was unremarkable, and his stool culture was also negative while on meropenem. Subsequently, he developed recurrent symptoms of the right lower extremity twice and each time he was treated with intravenous meropenem followed by oral minocycline. After the total of 12 weeks of antimicrobial treatment, his symptoms subsided. Clinicians should be aware of this organism when treating multi-focal, or symmetrical cellulitis even if the patients are immunocompetent.
