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

A 66-year-old man was transferred to our hospital for pneumonia that was resistant to sulbactam/ampicillin and levofloxacin therapy. Chest computed tomography showed the rapidly progressive formation of multiple cavities. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was isolated, and the patient was diagnosed with necrotizing pneumonia caused by community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA). The MRSA strain had type IV staphylococcus cassette chromosome mec and genes encoding Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL). CA-MRSA necrotizing pneumonia with the PVL gene is rare; only three cases have been previously reported in Japan. We administered anti-MRSA antibiotics and the patient achieved complete clinical and radiological improvement.
