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

Background: The incidence of Methods: 108 patients were analysed retrospectively at the Wuhan Union Hospital. The patients were classified into the PJP group or the Results: A notable difference in the fungal load was seen between two groups, with median reads of 3215.79 vs. 5.61 in two groups, respectively ( Conclusion: mNGS is a promising and valuable technique with good performance for differentiating
