Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis presenting with Ralstonia pickettii infection: A novel series of three cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Seminars in dialysis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis secondary to Ralstonia infection is very rare. Ralstonia pickettii is an organism that can grow in contaminated saline, water, chlorhexidine, and other medical products used in laboratories and the clinical setting. Infective endocarditis, prosthetic joint, and severe chest infections are previously reported with R. pickettii infection. We report a novel series of three cases diagnosed with PD-associated peritonitis caused by R. pickettii, where the cases appeared consecutively to our unit during a span of 4 weeks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increased uses of non-sterile gloves by clinical staff as a form of personal protective equipment throughout patient interaction and PD exchange, as recommended by local hospital policy for all staff attending to patient care. A multidisciplinary team root cause analysis of our cases suggested non-sterile gloves being the likely source of environmental contamination, leading to PD-associated peritonitis caused by R. pickettii in this scenario.
