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

We report a case of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) that mimicked atypical pneumonia in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A 44-year-old Japanese man with persistent fever and dyspnea for a month was diagnosed with atypical pneumonia because of bilateral ground-glass opacities on chest computed tomography (CT). Ground-glass opacities on chest CT diminished with three days treatment of azithromycin; however, his symptoms were persistent. Final diagnosis of HIV and PCP infection was eventually confirmed. Physicians should consider the possibility of PCP even when pulmonary manifestations resolve with azithromycin in patients with HIV infection.
