What is pneumonia?
Review in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The diagnosis of pneumonia is both simple and complex. Recent research is challenging our concept of pneumonia and radiological gold standards that have underpinned research for decades. In particular, the accuracy of chest radiographs in diagnosing pneumonia is now highly questionable when compared with computed tomography scans. Depending on the question being asked, pneumonia can be defined in clinical, pathological, radiological, or microbiological contexts, or frequently a combination of all of these. However, while the field is changing, until we have new studies defining pneumonia in new ways, clinicians can be reassured that existing guidelines based on "old" standards remain as valid as they have always been.
