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

Locus minoris resistentiae refers to decreased resistance in any internal organ or external body region, leaving it more vulnerable to disease processes than other regions. These changes, either congenital or acquired, alter the defense capacity. The concept of locus minoris resistentiae is widely accepted in the medical field and presents itself across specialties. Antecedent trauma is a known risk factor for hematogenous dissemination of infection; this also applies to coccidioidal species. In this article, we describe 2 patients who suffered from pulmonary coccidioidomycosis with subsequent trauma resulting in osseous dissemination to the site of injury.
