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

backgroundCommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major driver of hospital antibiotic use. Efficient methods to identify patients treated for CAP in real time using the electronic health record (EHR) are needed. Automated identification of these patients could facilitate systematic tracking, intervention, and feedback on CAP-specific metrics such as appropriate antibiotic choice and duration.

methodsUsing retrospective data, we identified suspected CAP cases by searching for patients who received CAP antibiotics AND had an admitting

resultsCompared to the gold standard of chart review, the area under the ROC curve to detect CAP was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI], .55-.72;

conclusionsCreating an electronic tool that effectively identifies CAP cases in real time is possible, but its accuracy is dependent on NLP-derived radiographic data.
