Burkholderia pseudomallei infection presenting with a lung abscess and osteomyelitis in an adult man: A 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 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleThe frequency of infections caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is increasing worldwide. Here, we report a case of B pseudomallei infection presenting with a lung abscess and osteomyelitis in an adult man. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old man presented with high-grade fever, productive cough, and chronic joint pain of the limbs. Examinations revealed multiple nodules, soft tissue mass shadows, pulmonary cavitation in bilateral lungs, and fluid and soft tissue swelling in bilateral hips. DIAGNOSES: The microbiologic diagnosis based on a positive culture revealed the etiologic agent to be B pseudomallei.
interventionsThe patient was treated with intravenous ceftazidime and levofloxacin, and out-of-hospital treatment continued with oral cotrimoxazole. OUTCOMES: The patient responded well to the treatment. LESSONS: subsections Because of its increasing incidence, B pseudomallei infection should be highly suspected among employees who work in laboratories and healthcare facilities. Misdiagnosis can lead to treatment failure and high mortality rates, especially among individuals working in laboratories in non-endemic areas; therefore, early and accurate diagnosis of B pseudomallei infection is essential. Adequate antimicrobial treatment and long-term follow-up are imperative to reduce morbidity and mortality.
