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

Clostridium difficile associated disease is a well recognized nosocomial infection evolving as a severediarrheal illness, associated with significantly higher rates of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection is higher and its impact is more severe in trauma patients when compared with general inpatient population. There are several potential diagnosis tools for Clostridium difficile colitis, however choosing the right diagnostic approach is a difficult task, especially in trauma patients in whom a rapid and certain diagnosis is of paramount importance. Moreover, managing these patients may prove to be a very challenging task, considering the emergence of novel aggressive Clostridium difficile strains resulting in increased disease severity.
