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

Melioidosis is a tropical infection that is increasingly being reported from South India. It is frequently observed in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic ethanol consumption and chronic kidney disease (CKD). It presents commonly with pneumonia, deep seated abscesses or osteoarticular infections. Cardiac complications are very rare with endocarditis being reported in very few patients. We report the first case of endocarditis in melioidosis in India. Although infections are common in patients with CKD, melioidosis at the time of diagnosis of CKD has never been reported in the past. Our patient had multiple liver abscesses and endocarditis, and responded well to a 6 week course of ceftazidime and doxycycline, with the latter being continued for 20 weeks.
