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

(1) Objective: There are limited data regarding community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) admissions patterns in US hospitals. Current expert CAP guidelines advocate for outpatient treatment or an abbreviated hospital stay for CAP patients in pneumonia severity index (PSI) risk classes I-III (low risk); however, the extent of compliance with this recommendation is unclear. This study sought to estimate the proportion of admissions among CAP patients who received ceftriaxone and macrolide therapy, one of the most commonly prescribed guideline-concordant CAP regimens, by PSI risk class and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score. (2) Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of patients in the Vizient
