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

A 60-year-old man with no significant medical history was found unresponsive by his neighbour; he had neck stiffness on physical examination in the emergency department. He later developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring endotracheal intubation. He is a binge drinker on weekends, and methamphetamine was detected in his urine. Contrast-enhanced CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis revealed multifocal pneumonia, bilateral psoas abscesses and right infraspinatus muscle abscess.
