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

Ventilator-acquired pneumonia and hospital community-acquired pneumonia are frequently caused by Gram-negative and -positive bacteria. We noted that pneumonia patients with co-infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia had a poor clinical outcome. To verify this, we retrospectively reviewed pneumonia cases at Hebei General Hospital from 2010 to 2015. These cases were grouped into four categories: (1) co-infection with P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia, (2) infection with P. aeruginosa, (3) infection with S. maltophilia and (4) infection with none of the known pneumonia-causing pathogens. The numbers of cases in each group were 50, 40, 41 and 33, with mortality rates of 64.0%, 12.5%, 14.6% and 6.1%, respectively. The analysed results indicated that a co-infection of P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia had a synergic impact on the mortality of pneumonia patients. Therefore, future research is needed to develop treatment strategies for the co-infected patients to reduce the rate of mortality.
