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

Objective: Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the clinical data of adult lung transplant recipients who were complicated with nocardiosis between January 2018 and December 2021 at the largest lung transplant center in South China. Results: The incidence of nocardiosis was 4.2% (13/316), including 9 cases of pulmonary nocardiosis and 4 disseminated nocardiosis (blood, pulmonary and intracranial). The accuracy in diagnosing nocardiosis was 77.8% by culture and 100% by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Conclusions: mNGS is more accurate than culture in diagnosing nocardiosis. Most patients responded well to the antibiotic therapy with combined antibiotics at the initial stage followed by a single antibiotic treatment.
