Legionella Pneumonia in the ICU: A Tertiary Care Center Experience Over 10 Years.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Few studies have reported the complications and outcomes of patients with Legionella pneumonia requiring ICU admission. The objective of our study is to report the clinical course, complications, and 30-day mortality of patients with Legionella pneumonia admitted to the critical care units at our medical center over a 10-year period.
designRetrospective observational study.
settingTertiary care teaching hospital. PATIENTS: All adult (≥ 18 yr old) patients with Legionella pneumonia admitted to the ICUs from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsA total of 88 patients with Legionella pneumonia were admitted to ICUs over the 10-year period. The majority of infections (
conclusionsPatients with Legionella pneumonia may require ICU admission and major organ support. Legionella-targeted antibiotics should be included in the empiric regimen for any patient with severe pneumonia. Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy in this population are encouraging.
