Joint application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing and histopathological examination for the diagnosis of pulmonary infectious disease.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
importanceThe diagnosis of some pulmonary infectious diseases and their pathogens is very difficult. A more precise diagnosis of pulmonary infectious diseases can help clinicians use proper antibiotics as well as reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria. In this study, we performed both mNGS and pathology on lung puncture biopsy tissue from patients and found that combined mNGS and histopathology testing was significantly more effective than histopathology testing alone in detecting infectious diseases and identifying infectious diseases. In addition, the combined approach improves the detection rate of pathogenic microorganisms in infectious diseases and can be used to guide precision clinical treatment.
