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

Myroides species, an uncommon clinical isolate, generally found in contaminated sources of environment, is an emerging source of infections, especially amongst immunocompromised patients. Though only 54 cases have been reported to our knowledge, the emergence of pan-resistance to antibiotics remains a concern that may burden healthcare and require awareness. We present the case of an elderly female who despite being home-bound, without any environmental exposure, contracted Myroides septicemia that progressed to septic shock and showed resistance to usual empiric antibiotics. In our case, the patient was exposed to contaminated soil via her family and was successfully treated with carbapenem. The case provides awareness amongst clinicians to suspect this emerging yet threatening infection within immunocompromised patients.
