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
Objective: To describe mortality, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and costs among Medicare beneficiaries with primary Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of 100% Medicare Fee-for-Service claims from adults aged ⩾ 65 years with ⩾1 CDI episode between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2017. Patients were continuously enrolled in Medicare Parts A/B/D 12 months before and up to 12 months after pCDI. ICD-9/10 codes defined CDI using ⩾1 inpatient claim, or ⩾1 outpatient claim plus ⩾1 claim for CDI treatment. The pCDI episode ended after 14 days without a CDI claim. rCDI episodes started within 8 weeks from the end of a previous CDI episode. ICD-9/10 codes identified all-cause sepsis over 12 month follow-up. Results: Of 497,489 CDI patients, 41.0% ( Conclusions: Sepsis was common among Medicare beneficiaries with CDI. CDI patients with sepsis, especially after an rCDI, experienced higher mortality, HRU, and costs compared with those without sepsis.
