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

Urinary tract infections (UTI) in the elderly are common. UTI ranges in severity from mild disease to severe sepsis. Many organisms can cause UTIs yet many UTIs are caused by the same few organisms. An organism that has been increasingly gaining notoriety for infections is Aerococcus urinae. Aerococcus infections are constantly misdiagnosed due to their difficulty to identify. Here we present a case of an elderly male who was found to have a urinary tract infection with Aerococcus urinaethat progressed into bacteremia, severe sepsis and ultimately death.
