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: Gestational psittacosis is one of the causes of unanticipated maternal death but has been difficult to diagnose early in clinical practice. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman who was 7 months pregnant experienced flu-like symptoms, which deteriorated. She was brought to our hospital in shock, and the fetus was nonviable. The patient was diagnosed with pneumonia and septic shock and administered meropenem. Despite aggressive resuscitation, she died 7 h after symptom onset. After obtaining consent from the patient's family, the autopsy was done to identify the cause of death. Microscopically, there was intervillous neutrophil accumulation in the placenta. Genetic analysis detected the Conclusion: Gestational psittacosis should be considered for a pregnant woman with flu-like symptoms. Moreover, unanticipated death of a pregnant woman might warrant a detailed autopsy to reveal the cause of death.
