Three Weeks of Treatment Induced Long-term Remission in a Patient with Micrococcus luteus-related Peritonitis.

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
Micrococcus luteus can cause relapsing and refractory peritoneal dialysis infection because it leads to strong biofilm formation. A 69-year-old woman who had undergone peritoneal dialysis (PD) visited the emergency department complaining of cloudy peritoneal dialysate. She was initially given intraperitoneal cefazolin (1 g/day) and ceftazidime (1 g/day). Micrococcus luteus was detected in a culture test. Thus, ceftazidime was discontinued. She remained disease-free for 22 months until she developed PD-related peritonitis. We administered antibiotics for 21 days and thereafter identified 2 important clinical issues. Micrococcus species-related peritonitis can sometimes be cured without vancomycin. Furthermore, the provision of three weeks of sufficient treatment may be important.
