Comamonas kerstersii bacteremia in a patient with acute perforated appendicitis: A rare case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
rationaleComamonas species are rarely associated with human infections. Recent reports found that Comamonas kerstersii was associated with severe diseases such as abdominal infection and bacteremia. However, C. kerstersii maybe be confused with Comamonas testosteroni using the automatic bacterial identification systems currently available. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 31-year-old man who had onset of left upper abdominal pain developed clinical manifestations of right lower abdominal pain and classic migration of pain at the temperature of 39°C. The positive strain of aerobic and anaerobic bottles of blood cultures was identified. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed as acute peritonitis and perforated appendix with abdominal abscess.
interventionsThe bacterium was identified by routine methods, MALDI-TOF-MS and PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA. The patient was treated with exploratory laparotomy, appendectomy, tube drainage, and prescribing antibiotic treatment. OUTCOMES: The patients were discharged with complete recovery. The organisms were confirmed as C. kerstersii by MALDI-TOF-MS and a combination of the other results. LESSONS: Our findings suggest that C. kerstersii infection occurs most often in association with perforated appendix and bacteremia. We presume that C. kerstersii is an opportunistic pathogen or commensal with the digestive tract and appendix bacteria.
