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

Nocardiosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection caused by aerobic, gram-positive, weakly acid-fast, filamentous bacteria of the genus Nocardia that presents as a suppurative disease in immunocompromised hosts. Herein the authors describe the case of an elderly male with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) on chronic immunosuppressive therapy that presented initially with visual symptoms and developed focal neurological deficits. Nocardia should be considered as a potential pathogen in any immunosuppressed patient presenting with endogenous endophthalmitis and new-onset focal neurological deficits. Early recognition and treatment may prevent irrevocable neurological compromise stemming from misdiagnosis.
