Differential metabolic host response to pathogens associated with community-acquired pneumonia.
Article in Metabolism open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Metabolic changes induced by the host immune response to pathogens found in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) may provide insight into its pathogenesis. In this study, we characterized differences in the host metabolic response to common CAP-associated pathogens. Method: Targeted metabolomic profiling was performed on serum samples obtained from hospitalized CAP patients (n = 119) at admission. We quantified 347 unique metabolites across multiple biochemical classes, including amines, acylcarnitines, and signaling lipids. We evaluated if unique associations between metabolite levels and specific CAP-associated pathogens could be identified. Results: Several acylcarnitines were found to be elevated in Conclusions: In this exploratory analysis, metabolites from different biochemical classes were found to be altered in serum samples from patients with different CAP-associated pathogens, which may be used for hypothesis generation in studies on differences in pathogen host response and pathogenesis of CAP.
