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 79-year-old Japanese man who had undergone thoracic aortic replacement 10 years prior presented with a 3-day history of sore throat. He was initially diagnosed with pharyngitis; however, multiple emboli in the vessels of the left side of the body were recognized. He was diagnosed with thoracic aortic graft infection caused by Candida albicans, with multiple embolisms. Anti-fungal therapy was initiated, but surgical removal of the graft was not performed because of the high risk associated with the operation, and he eventually died. Inappropriate use of antibiotics might have led to a severe fungal infection. As such, the inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents should be avoided.
