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

Klebsiella oxytoca (K. oxytoca) is a causative organism for hemorrhagic antibiotic-associated colitis. K. oxytoca infection is a typical example of microbial substitution diseases caused by exposure to antibiotics prior to the onset of diarrhea. Here, we repot a case with ileitis associated with K. oxytoca infection in the absence of preceding antibiotic treatment. Interestingly, abdominal computed tomography revealed wall thickening of the ileum and hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG). K. oxytoca was isolated from the stool. This very elderly patient had been treated with azathioprine for long-standing history of ulcerative colitis. Immuno-compromised state of this patient was considered to allow overgrowth of K. oxytoca in the small bowel to cause not only ileitis but also HPVG.
