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

Sarocladium kiliense is ubiquitous in the human environment and is an emerging opportunistic pathogen, especially among immunocompromised hosts. A 77-year-old man diagnosed with aplastic anemia suffered from non-valvular endocarditis. After he passed away, fungal hyphae were observed in several lesions on a postmortem examination. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a DNA sequence analysis revealed S. kiliense as the causative organism. This is the first case report of non-valvular fungal endocarditis caused by S. kiliense identified by PCR and a DNA sequence analysis in an immunocompromised patient. Although rare, invasive fungal infection caused by S. kiliense should be considered in immunocompromised hosts.
