Peritonitis from Anaerobic Gram-positive Cocci Likely Due to Translocation of Bacteria from Gut in a Patient Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Peritonitis is a severe complication encountered in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, often causing high morbidity and mortality. High vigilance is required from healthcare providers involved in the management of these patients to prevent this complication. There has been recognition of peritonitis caused by unusual organisms because of improved microbiological detection techniques. Gram-positive organisms are the frequent cause of peritonitis compared to Gram-negative organisms. We report a rare case of peritonitis caused by Enterococcus avium. A 60-year-old male on peritoneal dialysis presented with palpitations, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cloudy effluent. The peritoneal fluid analysis was consistent with peritonitis, and peritoneal fluid culture grew E. avium. The patient was treated with linezolid after failing to respond to vancomycin. The peritoneal dialysis catheter was removed, and the dialysis modality has been switched to hemodialysis because of refractory peritonitis.
