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

backgroundPantoea is a Gram-negative, non-encapsulated, non-spore-forming, ubiquitous straight rod which can be isolated from geographical and ecological sources such as plant surfaces, buckwheat seeds, human feces, and the environment. The genus Pantoea is a rare pathogen in a clinical setting, and is divided into 20 different species such as Pantoea agglomerans, Pantoea ananatis, Pantoea deleyi, Pantoea dispersa, Pantoea septica, Pantoea stewartii or Pantoea rwandensis. Pantoea dispersa has been reported to cause other infections, including respiratory infections, neonatal sepsis, and bloodstream infections. We report a case of Pantoea dispersa bacteremia caused by acute cholangitis. This is the first case report of Pantoea dispersa bacteremia caused by acute cholangitis as far as we had searched. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old Japanese woman suffered from acute cholangitis; a blood culture showed that Gram-negative rod was positive. The treatment was successful with intravenously administered meropenem, and it was switched to orally administered levofloxacin according to microbiological susceptibility. The organism was identified as Pantoea dispersa by both genetic investigation by 16S ribosomal RNA and additional biochemical tests. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of Pantoea dispersa bacteremia caused by acute cholangitis.

conclusionThe epidemiology and clinical features of Pantoea dispersa are still unknown. More cases of infections caused by Pantoea dispersa might be revealed with advancing technical methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or 16S ribosomal RNA analysis. Physicians must know that a variety of infections caused by Pantoea dispersa could occur in immunocompromised as well as immunocompetent patients.
