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
objectiveStreptococcus pneumoniae is a very rare cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI). The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and microbiological characteristics of these infections.
methodsThe medical records of patients with SSTIs due to S. pneumoniae diagnosed at the University Hospital of Guadalajara between January 2012 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Microbiological identification was performed using conventional procedures. Antimicrobial sensitivity was performed using the MicroScan WalkAway-96 plus automatic system and E-test strips following the recommendations of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST).
resultsFifteen cases of SSTIs were diagnosed. 73,3% of the cases presented underlying diseases, neoplasias being the most frequent. 60% of the cases presented predisposing factors, immunosuppression being the most common. The clinical presentations were: abscesses in different locations, ulcers, surgical wounds, lactational mastitis and necrotizing fasciitis. Polymicrobial infections were detected in 73.3% and the etiology was nosocomial in 6.6%. The clinical course was favorable in 90.9% of the cases. The antibiotics with the highest percentages of sensitivity against S. pneumoniae were cefotaxime, levofloxacin, vancomycin, linezolid and rifampicin.
conclusionsS. pneumoniae should be kept in mind as a possible causative agent of SSTIs, especially in patients with neoplasias and immunosuppression. Its involvement in infections such as lactational mastitis and necrotizing fasciitis should be highlighted. The clinical evolution is favorable in most patients, but it is important to pay special attention to cases of necrotizing fasciitis due to the severity of these infections.
