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

SUMMARY

backgroundCLINICAL CASE: We present a case of a 17 year old with severe PCP 13 months after KTx followed by reduction in kidney function and respiratory compromise. The pathogen was detected by PCR from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and patient was treated successfully with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMPSMX). Patient's condition, respiratory status and kidney function gradually improved. Our presented case is unusual because patient had no known risk factors for PCP and he was more than one year after KTx, what is considered rare. In addition patient and his parents delayed in notifying the treating physician about ongoing symptoms because did not deem them important enough.

conclusionsClinicians treating patients in risk groups for PCP must always remain vigilant even in era of effective prophylaxis. The vigilance should also extend to the patient and patient's family.
