Lower serum phosphate levels in patients with Legionella pneumonia relative to patients with non-Legionella pneumonia.

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
introductionFew studies have evaluated serum phosphate levels in patients with Legionella pneumonia admitted to hospitals in Japan. This study aimed to assess serum phosphate levels among inpatients with Legionella pneumonia on admission and compare them to those of inpatients with non-Legionella community-acquired pneumonia.
methodsThis case-control study included patients aged ≥16 years who were treated for Legionella pneumonia from April 2011 through March 2017 and those aged ≥16 years who were treated for non-Legionella community-acquired pneumonia from August 2014 through July 2015. Legionella pneumonia was diagnosed based on a positive result on the urinary antigen test, as well as radiographic examinations. Serum phosphate levels on admission were compared between Legionella and non-Legionella patients. In addition, serum phosphate levels on admission and on hospital day 5-7 were compared in Legionella patients.
resultsWe evaluated 8 Legionella patients and 61 non-Legionella patients. Median serum phosphate levels on admission were 1.90 and 2.80 mg/dL in Legionella and non-Legionella patients, respectively (
conclusionSerum phosphate levels on admission were approximately 32% lower in Legionella pneumonia patients compared to non-Legionella pneumonia patients, but both were comparable by hospital day 7.
