Visualizing Bacterial Infections With Novel Targeted Molecular Imaging Approaches.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 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
Although nearly a century has elapsed since the discovery of penicillin, bacterial infections remain a major global threat. Global antibiotic use resulted in an astounding 42 billion doses of antibiotics administered in 2015 with 128 billion annual doses expected by 2030. This overuse of antibiotics has led to the selection of multidrug-resistant "super-bugs," resulting in increasing numbers of patients being susceptible to life-threatening infections with few available therapeutic options. New clinical tools are therefore urgently needed to identify bacterial infections and monitor response to antibiotics, thereby limiting overuse of antibiotics and improving overall health. Next-generation molecular imaging affords unique opportunities to target and identify bacterial infections, enabling spatial characterization as well as noninvasive, temporal monitoring of the natural course of the disease and response to therapy. These emerging noninvasive imaging approaches could overcome several limitations of current tools in infectious disease, such as the need for biological samples for testing with their associated sampling bias. Imaging of living bacteria can also reveal basic biological insights about their behavior in vivo.
