Pathogenic microorganism detection in AIDS patients using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study aimed to investigate the use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage in the diagnosis of pulmonary pathogenic microorganism infection in AIDS patients. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, fiberoptic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid laboratory examinations of 209 AIDS patients with pulmonary infection. Among 209 patients, we found 42 cases of mycobacterial infection, 3 cases of bacterial infection, 58 cases of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), 27 cases that were fungal positive, 99 cases of CMV, and 103 cases positive for GM test of which 83 cases were considered
