Diagnostic utility of oropharyngeal swabs as an alternative to lower respiratory tract samples for PCR-based syndromic testing in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
Trial report in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Syndromic PCR-based analysis of lower respiratory tract (LRT) samples in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) improves the bacterial yield and time-to-results compared to culture-based methods. However, obtaining adequate sputum samples can be challenging and is frequently not prioritized in the emergency department (ED). In this study, we assess the concordance of microbiological detections between oropharyngeal- (OP) and LRT samples from patients presenting to the ED with CAP using a syndromic PCR-based respiratory panel [Biofire FilmArray Pneumonia
