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

We herein present the first known case of bacteremia caused by Kluyvera georgiana in a 67-year-old female undergoing chemotherapy for recurrent pancreatic cancer. The patient underwent choledochojejunotomy and thereafter developed ascending cholangitis. The diagnosis of K. georgiana was confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A literature review of Kluyvera spp. infections indicated potential risk factors including an underlying malignancy and immunosuppression. Although Kluyvera spp. infections are typically sensitive to antibiotics, multidrug resistance is possible. This case highlights the importance of the early diagnosis and treatment of K. georgiana and its associated risk factors.
