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

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commonly detectable commensal in the oral flora of dogs and cats, found in 25.5% and 15%, respectively, by culture and 70% and 55%, respectively, by molecular methods [1]. Formerly known as dysgonic fermenter 2 (DF-2), it was first reported in 1976 as a Gram-negative bacillus causing septicaemia and meningitis following dog bites [2]. It causes a spectrum of clinical syndromes from wound infections to bacteraemia and meningitis, especially in those with hyposplenism and alcoholism. We report a case of C. canimorsus meningitis and bacteraemia, and give a review of the relevant literature.
