Modern Blood Culture: Management Decisions and Method Options.
Review in Clinics in laboratory medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
The optimal care of septic patients depends on the successful recovery of clinically relevant microorganisms from blood cultures and the timely reporting of organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results. Many preanalytic factors play a critical role in culturing microorganisms, and advancements in blood culture instrument technology have reduced the time to positive results. Additionally, rapid organism identification and AST results directly from positive blood culture broth via new methods help to further shorten the time from empiric to targeted treatment. This article summarizes the current state of blood culture methods, including preanalytic, analytical, and postanalytic factors that are available to clinical microbiology laboratories.
