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

objectivesTo determine the usefulness of the pneumococcal urinary antigen test (PUT) and to describe the characteristics of pneumococcal pneumonia.

methodsIn this retrospective study, we examined the effects of prior antibiotic treatment, pneumonia onset period, and sputum quality on the results of PUT. Clinical information was collected via medical records from all adult patients who were hospitalized at the Fujita Health University Bantane Hospital with "pneumonia" as a new diagnosis from April 2015 to March 2018.

resultsA total of 482 patients with pneumonia were included, of whom 103 had pneumococcal pneumonia. The frequency of PUT positivity did not differ significantly in patients with a pneumonia onset period of ≥3 days compared with those with a period of ≤2 days (

conclusionsOur results showed that urinary antigen testing for pneumococcal pneumonia is useful for diagnosis regardless of prior antibiotic treatment and time since symptom onset.
