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

Shigellae are Gram-negative, nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming rods. Shigella is a common cause of gastroenteritis in areas of overcrowding and poor sanitation, but is seen less frequently in the developed world. Infection is mainly acquired through the fecal-oral route, but consumption of unpasteurized dairy remains a high risk for transmission. In the developing world, Shigella is a childhood illness and with adequate hydration is fairly self-limiting. The use of antibiotics depends on the severity of illness, the age of the patient and immune status. In immunocompromised patients, chronic symptomatic or relapsing infection has been described. In this report, we describe a case of a lung transplant patient, one year out of his transplant, on triple immunosuppressive therapy, who presented with septic shock secondary to Shigella gastroenteritis after ingesting unpasteurized cheese brought back from Peru. This case highlights the importance of educating transplant patients on how to reduce certain harmful exposures that may be fatal in immunosuppressed individuals.
