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

Pulmonary nocardiosis caused by Nocardia mimics pulmonary tuberculosis in many aspects. Here, we report a case of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis turning into pulmonary nocardiosis following microbiological evaluation. Sputum sample of the patient grew Nocardia otitidiscaviarum. Identification was done by conventional methods and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight. He was given co-trimoxazole based on susceptibility reports. Even though Nocardia is a rare entity, pulmonary nocardiosis should be ruled out before starting antitubercular treatment to avoid unnecessary burden to the patient and community.
