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

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis are opportunistic infections that occur during immunosuppressive treatments for ulcerative colitis (UC). The prognosis of PJP and CMV colitis is very poor. We herein report a rare case of a 74-year-old UC patient with PJP and CMV colitis that was successfully treated with intensive therapy. PJP progresses rapidly, so the timing and choice of treatment are critical. Furthermore, a literature review of similar cases suggested that prophylactic therapy for opportunistic infections might be important, especially in the elderly. This case will serve as a reference for successful treatment in future cases.
