Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Immunosuppressed patients are at greater risk of unusual infections. The authors present the case of a woman with giant-cell arteritis, on oral steroids, who developed cavitating pneumonia due to co-infection with LEARNING POINTS: In patients with vasculitis on systemic corticosteroid therapy or other immunosuppressive treatment, suspicion of uncommon infection should increase in parallel with the cumulative dose of these drugs.Obtaining an accurate diagnosis and early treatment is essential, but can be very challenging.Regular prophylactic therapy should be considered. However, more research is needed to determine whether higher doses of TMP/SMX would provide adequate coverage.
