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

backgroundInfection by Dialister micraerophilus, an obligate anaerobic gram-negative bacillus, has rarely been described, and its clinical characteristics remain unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of bacteremia caused by D. micraerophilus, Enterocloster clostridioformis, and Eggerthella lenta in a 47-year-old woman, associated with pyometra. D. micraerophilus was identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. D. micraerophilus was detected by polymerase chain reaction using D. micraerophilus-specific primers and E. clostridioformis and E. lenta was isolated from the drainage pus sample obtained from the pyometra uterus. The patient achieved a cure after abscess drainage and 2-week antibiotic treatment.

conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of D. micraerophilus bacteremia. D. micraerophilus may be associated with gynecological infections. Clinicians should consider both oral and gynecological sites when searching to identify the focus of D. micraerophilus infection.
