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

During the last decade there have been many changes and advances in the research on Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). We have improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools and, at the same time, we have learned that the CDI implies, especially in the most vulnerable patients, an important morbidity. CDI has traditionally been undervalued and it is widely dispersed in hospitals. Surely, there is inertness in its management and there are also broad areas of improvement. If we add to this the high cost of the new drugs and the practical difficulties to implement the faecal microbiota transplant, we realize that we may not be taking full advantage of all the opportunities to improve patient's outcomes. The implementation of policies that favour the supervision of all CDI cases by an expert in infectious diseases will contribute to a better global management of this important disease.
