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

We report a case of superinfection of liver cysts caused by Candida albicans and Staphylococcus lugdunensis in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. A 69-year-old man with chief complaints of headache and blurred vision was admitted to the former institution for the evaluation of suspected temporal arteritis. He was prescribed oral prednisolone (55 mg/day) as a preemptive treatment; however, he became febrile and presented with bilateral flank pain during prednisolone tapering. Blood culture revealed fungemia as a result of Candida famata infection; thus, micafungin treatment was started. Thereafter, recrudescence of the C-reactive protein level ensued. Then a cyst infection as visualized on magnetic resonance imaging led to cyst aspiration sclerotherapy. Cyst aspirate culture revealed the presence of C. albicans in one of the cysts and S. lugdunensis in two of the cysts. The patient was clinically stabilized with an additional 3 weeks of antibiotic and antifungal drug administration.
