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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common healthcare-associated infection in adult critical care units. The reason behind the different levels of severity and the outcome in different individuals is not established yet.Co-morbidities and age may be a valid reason.In an attempt to find out the reason behind the different levels of severity of VAP in different individuals, we conducted a studywith the primary objective being to assess the quantitative correlation between the colony forming units (CFU) of

methodsThis observational study was conducted in a 27-bedded intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in northern India. Endotracheal tube aspirate was collected from patients with suspected VAP.A total of 81 patients without any prior co-morbidity and having
